VDC not so bad, actually darn good

Do you guys think maybe we just need better tires? Because VDC kicks in when our rear tires lose traction, right? So it stands to reason that if we have

Do you guys think maybe we just need better tires? Because VDC kicks in when our rear tires lose traction, right? So it stands to reason that if we have better grip, VDC would be less of an issue. I had a set of Michelin PS2s on my 350, and I loved those tires. My TC hardly ever came on. I have a sneaking suspicion that if I had those tires on my 370, it'd make a world of difference with the VDC. I've never thought much of Bridgestone, to be honest. Those PS2s are pricey though.

I remember as a salesman when I worked for Penske Chevrolet several years back.And I pulled out the Z06 for a customer(the salesman always pulls the car off the lot) who wanted to test drive it. The Vette has a similar feature called ASR, anti-slip regulator or whatevers.

But dayamm, the Z06 is fast as f&ck. I took it to the freeway onramp, stabbed the pedal, and that thing broke the tires loose in flash...but when ASR kicked in, fun was over. I told the customer while smiling , "I don't want to work here for years to pay for this thing." He smiled back and I pulled off the freeway and into a parking lot to let him take over.
