Faster with VCD off?

I thought, I read in the manual, that the 370Z, "brakes", I assume by pulsating, the rear wheels when it activates VDC. I could be wrong though, but that's what I recall.

It can do both. The VDC on our cars can modulate the throttle, and it can also individually pulse all 4 brakes as it sees fit, depending on steering angle, car angle, direction of travel, and the spinning speed of each of the 4 wheels as sensed by the ABS. In straight-line acceleration, it's probably just going to do the throttle thing, but if you loose traction in a corner it's going to use the brakes too.
