VDC not very intrusive?

At spring mountain they told us "Turning the computer off won't make you faster, it will only make you crash faster."

Of course, this was with the ZR1 Corvette, which has one of the best systems out there, basically "Racelogic".

It definitely isn't the case with the 370 (GT-R maybe?). Maybe a professional can correct me, but I am not seeing it. I have driven nicer systems on cars like the 997 GT3 (TCS only), it definitely doesn't interfer like the 370z

When I attended the Skip Barber High Performance driving school at Road Atlanta a few years back, the instructors echoed that sentiment.

Perhaps the confusion stems from the fact that there's the 'ABLS' component of the VCD system. Either can trip the 'VCD' light. VCD being full-blown traction control with power cut, whereas ABLS just pulses brakes in an attempt to mimic a LSD (at least, for those of us with non-Sports... not sure about those with VLSD's). At least, that's my understanding. Different situations might invoke just ABLS, where you don't get the power cut.

VDC off, but slip light blinks
