tj- in your case fix your front camber first.

ProfessorDave · 11-17-2010, 03:19 PM

...and take it off when you give it throttle in second or you'll get flamed for not knowing how to drive a RWD car

Poor guy had no idea what he was getting himself into. Just leave VDC on unless you are at the track or competing in auto-x.

I had it off a couple of weeks ago while cruising down to lunch, took a corner a little fast and came very close to running out of talent. 50F temps and Summer tires are not a good time to mess around.

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.

I hydroplaned with VDC off... kinda scary... Lol.

Leave it on for daily driving and off when you want to have some fun!

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.
