I never drive with it on and I never turn off rev match. It's just the way it is.

Heck, what did everyone with a fast car do before traction control was invented? ;))
!!Drive that baby!!! |

People wreck them now, what is your point. Have you seen the insurance rate on the 370, it is quite high. My Corvette and 911 were cheaper

I've not really ever turned VDC off, yet the car still steps out if I nail it on a curving freeway on-ramp, or spins up if I floor it in first or second in a straight line... I thought VDC was supposed to completely prevent that altogether??:confused::confused::confused:

Not sure what the insurance rate on the Z has to do with it... |
I cant speak for anyone else here, but for me, the VDC takes the fun out of driving the car, or any fast car for that matter. I like to let the car get squirly, or fishtail when I cut a corner quickly if I so desire. Thats such fun.....as long as Mr policeman doesn't see you doing it, and naturally you have to be careful for safety reasons as well, but as I said earlier, you gotta know you and your vehicle's limitations, and if you are not comfortable, or sure of yourself, best leave that button alone!

Anyone willing to turn off VDC is probably living under the illusion that they have miata doors to protect them. Woe unto them when they find out this isn't the case. :(

It was at 600am the temperature was 29 deegres going to work, the deal is I was making a right turn at 30mph hit black ice :shakes head: and the car went sideways, to corrected I had to push the throttle and do a powerslide:ughdance:. With VDC on I bet the car woulded caught greep and problably lost control:driving:. I was not specting that to happend. I think everybody needs to learn what your car is capable off:stirthepot: so when this moments comes you know what to do.

Idea for some vanity plates:
VDC OFF :roflpuke2: |

With it on it'll let you spin it a little before it kicks in. It's meant more along the lines of if you take a onramp too fast say at 80 mph and your back started to slide out to the point where any more will be dangerous/ spin your car that's when it kicks in and cuts power and uses brakes as necessary..... I found it useful to know the limits of the VDC on my car, went to an empty parking lot and I figured out how much I can push it before it kicks in and helps me out. |

Because it's a reactionary system, not a preventionary one, it won't keep you from sliding around or spinning the tires all together. It's there to act as a safety net for when things do go wrong. Quote:

Mine is always off, in the rain, snow. Im not a fan of traction control. i like to control my car not a computer. ANDDD even with it off its still on so its never as much fun as i wish it could be because its still on. Do what YOU want to do and feel comfortable doing. Dont go turn traction control off just because everyone else is doing it and not crashing their car. And dont go out and think ur a racecar driver bc u have a sports car. Just please be safe guys. Ive lost many friends due to stupid driving and im only 22. if you want to test your car out go to a track. My $.02 |

I never drive with the VDC on no matter what the condition. If you try to pull out into traffic and get on it a little too much the VDC can slow your car and put you in harms way. With the VDC off, if the tail kicks out or the tires spin I can control that and keep it going like it should.

And now begins the debate as to which is faster; Accelerating smoothly with no wheelspin, or controlled slipping of the tires. Exhibit A: YouTube - Drag Race! 2012 Nissan GT-R vs 2011 Chevy Corvette Z06 vs 2011 Shelby GT500 |

F*^^ vdc.... Lmao
But I leave it on unless I know I'm going to be using the car for what it can do. |
I mostly leave it on, but turn it off once in a while. It has its uses. For example, the other day a guy in a G35 turns right on red right in front of me (plenty of room behind, but nooooo), then stops with his left signal on 'cause he wants to move over into the next (logjammed) lane. I simultaneously whipped it around him on his right, redlining it, honking the horn and flipping him off. With VDC off, I'd probably have to skipped either the redline engine note, the horn, or the finger. It would have been tragic!
