Someone menttioned breaking the tires loose in third... How the hell does that happen? WOT w/ turbo and a 90 degree corner?


one had said in a different thread about spinning in third..and yes it does.... 50mph...drop to third ...drop the hammer...wheel spin...even with vdc ON ( will just make it cut power so you dont slightly fishtail like with it off)

Street VDC ON, Drift VDC_OFF

I hate it when Im at the track and I forget to push the button when I get out there and VDC completely ruins my drift, makes me look like a noob!

I turn it off when I want to truly enjoy the power of the Car...

But I grew up in the seventies on Bias Ply Tires and no VDC..

Since the last time I noticed and posted in this thread, I took it one step further. Removed the Yaw Sensor from under the center console. Now I don't have to remember to push the button to kill VDC. Added bonus: even with the button off, the car still does a little traction management via ABLS (tapping the brakes on one rear wheel to assist the VLSD's poor excuse for LSD). Killing the Yaw Sensor supposedly disables that as well.

Could be all in my head, but I feel like my corner exits really improved right about the same time I killed that sensor. I suspect it's just hard to get really smooth at rear traction control (manually) with those little ABLS taps happening randomly and unpredictably. I never felt them directly enough to know exactly when it was happening for sure, though.

Obviously, removing the sensor is one of those things nobody will recommend for liability reasons or whatever, but if you're tracking the car, I'd recommend trying it.

Hadn't really driven with it off much until this weekend.

Soooo much more fun with it off.

Definitely not for the faint at heart or the inexperienced driver.:eek:

While I'll keep it on in town, it'll be off from now on when doing any 'fun' driving.:tup:

VDC off every time I enter the vehicle. when you WOT the slip automatically comes on cutting the engine out, and plus I got a uprev tuned so it always goes on when I floor it

VABAM 03-22-2016 11:02 AM

I choose - VDC: OFF, Racelogic: ON :tup:
