VDC OFF are you crazy!!!!!!! You are being unsafe wreckless-recluse A-holes.

Hahaha... just kidding. :icon18:

7at is not a burnout god. Lol. 6mt will be your baby if you are trying to be a show queen. But I don't know what I'm doin right or wrong with my Z but that vdc is only holding back some acceleration on me. I fishtail the hell out of my car even with vdc on... maybe its the 50mph 90degree turns??? Lol... But vdc won't keep the car in. It just slows down my acceleration out of the turn. Good weather days, off is best. :) :driving:

i dont use vdc unless it's raining or driving on loose surface.

thats where the Evo would come in handy. When i first bought my Evo the techs told me to get "evo tech qualified" they had to do a driving portion of the course and they had to get up to 90kmh and crank the wheel fully to the right or left (depending what the instructor said). If they let off the gas or touched the brake they failed. I was curious if it is actually possible. So i got permission from the guys that were running a auto-x event on the runway on the base i work at. I got up to 90kmh and ripped the damn wheel over....thing took the turn nicely. Took me 4 times to do it cuz i kept letting off the gas...was freaking myself out :happydance:

As for the VDC in the Z. I couldnt stand the damn thing. Especially in the winter. Wasnt able to get going from a stop, had issues getting out of my parking lot. Taking turns was a nightmare because one of the wheels would spin and the VDC would cut power and cause me to go all over the place. I know how to control the rear end coming out if it does, i know how to take turns on snow/ice. What i dont know is when that damn system is going to take over and what its going to do. I feel more in control and more safe with it off. But thats just me.

Really! Do I get wider fronts or more narrow rears? I already played with my suspension so maybe it is too late, the understeer is gone already.

DO NOT RUN WIDER FRONT THAN THE REAR. I tried it on a stock 350 , almost $hit my pants and crashed my car.

Whatever you run in the back, shove the same ones to the front. The car can take 295 in the front if not 305.

I believe I might still have a video of the car with the VDC on and off around the same track, the difference was 5+ sec. I still love the VDC light kicking on at 120mph because a crosswind hit the car.....
