Kind of a side note on the subject... The weekend after I got the roadster, I was leaving a parking lot with two exit lanes. I was preparing to make a right waiting for traffic to clear. There was a guy to my left also waiting. He apparently decided not to wait for both directions to clear because as the first break in nearer traffic approached, I saw him start to crank the wheel in my direction as he edged forward... still watching traffic and never looking to his right. I went for the horn as I dumped the clutch. Good thing he heard the horn and jumped on his breaks because the VDC left me stumbling in his path! I came very near to catching one in the drivers door... and then going to jail for choking him.

Power can get you in or out of trouble, but the VDC tries to out think the driver. In this case stumbling.
