Has VDC made you a worse Z driver?

I really haven't found much of a need to turn mine off until lately. It could be because the roads are finally dry here in the NW or I'm just getting more comfortable behind the wheel of a Z. I do find one thing highly annoying with the VDC on. That is, when starting from a complete stop while making a left or right hand turn, or starting off strait away while on an uneven paved surface sometimes the VDC kicks on. It's just an odd feeling when the car loses all acceleration for a bit.

I guess it serves as a reminder of how easy it can be to break the rear loose, just as a couple of you others mentioned. I do recall reading 3 or 4 threads from earlier this year about crashed Z's. I do believe they all had their VDC turned off...bet they wished they would have never turned it off now.
