yes but it still helps.


SEE I TOLD YOU GUYS VDC OFF KILLS Zs.

I was right...all along. :roflpuke2:

that sucks good luck with the repairs

well said Killer. I agree with you. There was a time when cars did not have VDC at all. OMG.. People just need to learn to drive and stop havuing the car do it for them.


That said I love my inteligen cruse control and lane departure feture in the FX50. I just set it fall asleep and arrive well rested.

ouch.. sorry to see that

zmyride i think he gets the point man, no need to post a picture and act like a sh*thead. Stop trying to act like a know it all, give the kid a break. If the kid was like 18 and did this then maybe age might have been a bigger factor, but to the difference between 27 and 30 isnt much. A simple good luck on the repairs was all that was needed.

i don't have a VDC button, should I go to the dealership?

^^^ dear god yes cuz you should already be dead.

i knew something was wrong!

Oh boy, you should not have said that... Let the pages add up.


*Update* LOl... When I posted this the thread was only 1 page long... Its now like 3 lol... Please lock this thread before the guy kills himself from all the negative comments.

That sucks man, but you definitely chose a bad time to turn VDC off. At least your OK. And if it makes you feel any better you're not the first and certianly not the last. Show us pics when all the repairs are done.

I remember one night many years ago. I met this hot babe at a bar and one thing lead to another and she was back at my place. In the heat of the moment I turned VDC off and all I could think about was how dangerous it was but also the thrill of having the full feeling with VDC off was so much better than with it on. The only sucky part was the anxiety afterwards until I got a clean bill of health from the Doc.

well there you have it gents, women are no longer after your money and soul.... they just want your VDC off.

I believe that every Z should not have VDC. What happened to learning how to properly drive an automobile? We have become too reliant on technology to do the driving for us.!

:bowrofl:

awesome reply, ive been in that situation a few times.......no using VDC feels so much better, but the next day your worried about your drive shaft

in b4 lock on the VDC off thread.

in before the VDC is turned back on

:bowrofl:

I always turn VDC off. Why? Because I know how to drive a rwd, fwd, awd, 4x4Hi, 4x4Lo and my JD lawnmower. VDC wasn't around back in the day and guess what? Everyone drove around going about their business and there were accidents. For all you pro VDC on folks I have a revelation for you - there will always be accidents with or without VDC on or off. Now get over it and face the reality that VDC on is not a guaranteed accident prevention device that will save your a$$ no matter what.

After thinking about your wreck: VDC "would not" have prevented your wreck. The tires have, to have, traction for VDC to be effective!
"He did a 360 spin, there is no traction", even if VDC had been on, it wouldn't have helped!
"I would like to apologize for my previous snap post"!

AMEN brother!!!
:bowrofl:

Hope you get it back as good as new! Glad your ok.

sorry my dry humor offended you. no bad intention from me. I'm not teaching him how to drive. I'm not sure I can drive better than him.

To the OP, sorry that happened. Good luck and hope you get your car back soon.

Yeah the negative comments are uncalled for and juvenile at best. :rolleyes:

Hey OP, My VDC is off 90% all the time :tup: No one was hurt! Good luck with the repairs and enjoy the car when you get it back!!!!!! Cheers.

i like kittens

:hello:

I'm more of a dog person

dog it is, now gtfi

Where in Orlando did this happen? What body shop did you take it to?

Me too, got any good recipes?

No but I have a recipe for Chicken Feet.

Ha! Funny thing is, this dim sum place near me has that as a special for lunch on Sunday's.

Airbags come out? and I think you guys should cut him a break he said he made a mistake turning the VDC off. Regardless, I never drive with it on. There's been too many times when I tried to pull out quickly and it slows the car, putting you in even more danger because your car isn't accelerating like it should be.

+1 sometimes the vdc bogs the car for a split second when you smash the pedal.

Don't think what you guys described is VDC fault. It sounds like the car is trying to adjust from being driven passive to aggressive.

eg7737,

Man, I really feel for you, such a beautiful car! :(

I am glad that you are alright.

Samuel

Yeah its making the adjustment, but sometimes its overly intrusive.

Congrats man, glad to see you got it back and are happy with the work. Now get back out there and enjoy it :driving:

Man, that wait would have killed me. Now drive the hell out of it!

+1...I Have VDC off majority of the time! (just like i did with my g35c 6mt, off 99% of the time) :tup:
If you can't handle the car then keep it on! Its as easy as that.

Congrats on getting the car back! :excited:

This is true, but you have to have experience with the car. The car was still pretty new to him so driving with VDC off, in the rain, at night probably wasn't the brightest move and ultimately let to him spinning out of control which caused the collision. And yes, I also race in the race with VDC off and I'm often one of the fastest under those conditions.

I only have 1 rule. Drive within your limits.
