Problem is that everyone thinks they drive well, even if they can't.

How did you know that's the t-shirt I was designing? Did you hack my cafepress account Dreezy?

Forget it then. I'll get a "Vote for Pedro" shirt instead.

once i found out how to disable it (disconnecting the harness) i had it off 24/7, even in the winter and rain.

I own a 05 SRT-10 Ram pushing 430rwhp... trying to keep a rwd truck with no weight in the back on the road during the winter is hard, having that much horsepower is even harder but fun...lol.

Not that the s2000 is a torque monster or high hp beast but I had two of them. 03 and 01 so I can't say anything about the newer ones but I loved that the S2K had no traction control at all. You dont see those being crashed all that much either.

It's the Indian not the arrow. I think with Zs ESP since it's affordable , less intelligent people end up crashing them thinking they are Paul walker.

IMO the vdc is better in the 370 than older Zs And gs but it's rather intrusive and not needed on a dry day IF you aren't a scared or inexperienced RWD driver.

Also. I know he's here. Importcovert has upped his rep with me since he has purchased a new z06. Which leads me to believe he may be wiser than I imagined. Hehe JK. So maybe the ws6 stories will turn to z06 stories.

I want pics tho and a video of him driving with vdc off to validate my assumption.

My experiences with the first generation S2000 were wicked lift-throttle=snap-oversteer.
Moral of the story? Don't lift! :rofl2:

Those 00-01 S2k's were well-known for that. Kind of brings to light what our perception of what a car with snap oversteer is, since that was actually a well-balanced car, that was still geared to understeer at the limit. The various pig cars on the road have taught us that everything understeers...

Cook a turn so you plow and slide and see how fast VDC straightens your a$$ out.

Man i don't care if you think thats BS, but i drive with VDC off all the time and by now I know how my car responds in some of the situations. And if someone crash because one day that person decides to turn off his little computer helper and end up in a three thats his problem, and if that happends to me it will not by surprice and it won't be a little crash aider.

O almost forgot I'm not a professional race driver but driving in Dominicar Republic, and Iraq counts to me.......and thats is self-fulfilling thanks and drive safe and slow.:driving:
