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

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

and the car went sideways, to corrected I had to push the throttle and do a powerslide

. With VDC on I bet the car woulded caught greep and problably lost control

. I was not specting that to happend. I think everybody needs to learn what your car is capable off

so when this moments comes you know what to do.

It's this anecdotal, self-fulfilling BS that makes people think turning VDC off is a good idea. In reality, VDC would have modulated the brakes at all four corners to reduce your speed and kept your car from spinning. You probably would have been fine. 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.

VDC uses a number of sensors on the car that detect wheel speed, yaw, control input, etc. If the computer detects that the car is not acting within tolerance of the intended direction of travel based on your control inputs, it will react.

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.

VDC OFF

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
