Does turning off VDC disable ABS?

VDC only assist the driver in certain situations.

Old school Zs and other RWD cars didn't had VDC and people that knew how to drive RWD car did fine.

So if you don't know or never have driven a RWD car before keep the VDC on.

I'm in my 40's, so I'm more than old enough to have years of experience driving rear wheel drive cars with out any kind of traction control systems.

It's no big deal to me to power slide through a turn on dry, wet or snowy pavement, I grew up doing it. It's kind of funny to think that some of the younger drivers on this site may not have that experience due to so many new cars having traction control systems on them now a days.

i dont think abs cuts off at low speeds. think about ice conditions at like 10 mph

The comment I made was not towards you, it was a general comment.
