Faster with VCD off?

frost

When I had my f-bods equipped with traction control, there were companies who sold "reverse modules" that made it so the car turned on with the TC off, and you actually had to press the button to turn it on. That was VERY handy. They ever make anything like that for the Zs?

I was getting so annoyed that when I would accelerate it felt like my car was not engaging the gear I turned VDC off and it feels like I'm driving a different car, it's now doing what it's "supposed" to do

holy bump from the depths...this is an old *** thread.

wrt dialing out understeer, going square and tossing on a rear sway will help a lot.

Not sure what everyone else said since im not really every post.

Yes the car has more power with it fully off. If you dont want it on and you want the power increase (mainly the low end) pull off the center piece where your E-brake is and you will see the harness for the VDC. Disconnect the wire and it will be 100% off...unlike remaining on by 15-25% when you push the button) You will feel the difference in the low/mid range of the power band.

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

Hahaha... just kidding.

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.

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

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.
