It's 45F and misting rain here tonight. I just saw a Cutlass slide through an intersection while fish tailing left and right. VDC is staying on until April.

hahaha to put the WHOOLLLE forum full of info onto one post... and to answer ur question.

most ppl keep it on. the 370z's vdc is probably one of the more "transparent" types. When cornering it doesn't feel like ur engine has no power. it feels pretty good actually, it feels like u are doing all the driving even though vdc is helping.

honestly i think most NORMAL drivers would probably be just as fast with vdc on as opposed to off.

but anyways, we on this forum have seen our fair share of wrecked Zs from vdc off in tricky conditions. most of us keep it on for daily driving and off at a track.

MINORITY OPINION. Since I have had to drive my entire life without VDC, I do not like the interference. I equate it to training wheels; why would I get my first set now?

I see the VDC light up frequently, and wonder why it would have cut the throttle had it been turned on. Sharp uphill turns are where I must turn it off or it will surely make itself known.

I use my brain and right foot to control wheel spin, not the VDC. This puts me in the minority and I do not care.
