Questions about VDC..

Chteelers · 12-20-2012, 07:10 AM

VDC is a relatively new thing. Its a nice safety net for 90% of regular driving, but if you want to have a spirited drive, you should know how to handle the car without it on.

That said, I really wish that it were two mode. All-on >> stability-on / throttle-off >> All-off. The throttle cut is the most intrusive, it'd be nice to be able to turn that off, while leaving the stability control on. In other words, I feel comfortable controlling the rotation of the car with the throttle, but would still like the stability safety net if I hit a oil patch or wet leaves mid corner.

IMHO, the lack of a "Sport" setting on the traction/stability control system is one of the few legitimate disappointments of the Z.
