VDC...off?

I really don't understand why one would want to turn VDC off other than racing on a track, it really baffles me.

Anyway, please post some pix of your crashed Z with VDC off (that's if you survived the crash of course), we sure love seeing those.

I don't understand why you would turn it off, either, but it's not like you're driving a Viper. A stock 370 is well within most people's ability to man-handle. The nanny is just nice when unexpected hazards present themselves.

With VDC on I agree, but with it off it's another matter.

VDC is a bit like wearing a rubber whilst having sex with a new partner, it's less fun for sure but it's also much less risky. Take it off and you'll have one heck of a good time but you might suffer the consequences. Is it worth it? You're better off getting to know your partner before moving to the next step.

Anyway, this subject has been flogged to death in previous posts, I don't think I'll contribute anything worthwhile.

Very good analogy! Rep for you!

I hope you have more faith in your own driving skills than having faith in "VDC on will ALWAYS save my a$$ no matter how reckless I drive." I'm not saying you're a reckless driver but it's hard to refrain from spirited driving once in awhile with a sports car. If one knows how to drive to begin with, then it doesn't matter whether VDC is on or off.

I drove my G35c 6MT with it off all the time...Shifts were much smoother even at low RPM....I noticed the same with the 370z, I drive the car with it off all the time....I never wrecked my G35c 6MT....I'll post pics of the 370z....I haven't rev'd it past 3,500RPM yet...
