It'd be a scary thought if most people here switched to Vipers. Those cars make twice the hp and tq of the Z, and they have no form of traction control whatsoever

Very true. A Viper will force you to grow up fast or it will kill you.

I've had my car for a year and the VDC has not been off once, and it kicks in on a very regular basis, the car is allowed to get just a bit sideways. With the financial responsibility of supporting a family of 5, it's not worth the risk of a bent $40k car, and I've bent a couple over the years by driving too aggressivley (admittedly when it's very cold and there is black ice). I used to drive my Camaro sideways all the time, but it just wasn't that big a deal if I smashed it.
