VDC not very intrusive?

I'm surprised you think that, especially coming out of a vette. The VDC is way more intrusive in this car, borderline dangerous in some cases I believe, like when you

I never provoked the traction control in my 'vette. It stayed out of my way, I stayed out of it's way. Either that, or it was so seamless and gave no indication, that I never noticed it.

I am comparing the VDC to the TC in my 2001 Trans Am, which was HORRIBLE.

Well, there is 11 years difference in technology.

I never had a problem with my vette either. Also, I used comp mode on the track in the vette and it rarely ever kicked in, and when it did, it was gentle. A much better system.

This happened to me once in my 09. As hard as I've pushed this car that's never happened. What was a little crazy that happened last week and I was on fairly smooth road and VDC was ON. I went to my left lane to pass a slow-poke and on the left I gunned it like 40% throttle and downshifted. The car kicked really hard and began fishtailing at 45mph going to 50. I let go of the throttle so the car would stop doing that. VDC blinked the whole time. But I never lost power. I just found it kinda crazy my car reacted that way. But I had control over it the whole time and at no point did I lose confidence which is most important.
