VDC not so bad, actually darn good

I am one that finds it overly intrusive. Has it saved me, yes. Has it almost killed me, yes. I find it most intrusive when trying to hit a gap in traffic where a quick burst is required. Too many times the nanny has kicked in right as I was crossing fast moving traffic. So now I have gotten used to turing it off before I need to hit a gap.

Many cars are coming with a sport setting these days and that's what this car really needs. Somewhere between full off and full on.

Ummmmm.....No offense Tin, but you might want to reconsider your personal driving style. "Aggressive driving" will get you tickets in most parts of the country...

A downshift in traffic to 4th or 5th depending on speed isnt enough to break traction on the 275's with a stock motor. Unless you are above 6K and the road is wet.......or your whipping into a lane at break neck speed which is rediculous on public roads.
I personally drive aggressive, but not overly aggresive on public roads and have not had a problem myself.

Didn't ya'll see he's from Oregon... Have any of you ever driven there?

Just going the speed limit and not ten miles under it, is the equivilant of aggressive driving there!

Hah! Isn't that the truth. Been here 5 years now and it still drives me bonkers. Got to take the Z up to Rainier over the weekend though. Got to enjoy real speed limits.

Of course I may have possibly, just possibly, hit 130 at one point on a desolate straight...maybe.
