I never drive with the VDC on and I'm putting down moar powaaaa! and that just don't happen sonny. With that said.. good for pops! Sounds like he was having a good time. Too bad about the boo boo though..
I dont understand why anyone would drive with the VDC off except on a race track..I mean what is the point and how do you discover you are not capable?

Once wrapped around a tree Driving with VDC off doesn't always equate with driving recklessly. The driving experience with it off is... much more rewarding.

"I don't always drive with the VDC button off, but when I do .... " XX

There was a time when cars didn't come with VDC. Or even computers for that matter. So what's to understand? I've been to the track so far with this car 4 times. I know well the cars limits and believe me, when you want to put the power down in either an emergency situation or just having fun and the car bogs out because of the VDC, you'll be kicking yourself.

You discover capability at the track. I don't recommend finding it on the street. Hey, driving with the VDC off isn't for everyone I guess. And that's ok.

Edit: I'm just so sick and tired of the stupid mention of VDC whenever someone spins out or hits something. If you got there in the first place, VDC probably wasn't going to help you anyway.
