With VDC on, is it even possible to lose control of the car?

At the end of the day you have a powerful RWD car

On the street given all the variables of the road you can easily lose control even with the VDC on either due to you carrying too much speed into an intersection or you hammering as the wheel is losing grip due to the road surface

I suspect that your tires are probably bald? anyway you want to ease off the line in our cars and allow grip to build otherwise the VDC will limit you every time

Nope, the car only has 13xx km on it.

But if you have to ask this question, leave the vdc on lol.

Believe it or not, I am actually capable of gaining control back...under settings where I expect it to happen.

What I am worried about is having the car slip at times and places where I least expect it and catches me off guard.

I downshifted to 3rd today, braked a little past the pedestrian line and then took a hard left today with a Pontiac tailing me and the green left turn arrow was turning yellow. I heard the tires screech at that point, I was going pretty fast, I just don't know what the limit is before the car will spin out.
