VDC and U turns newbie observation
 

Yesterday I did a slightly fast U turn and it almost felt like someone applied the brakes hard and slowed the car right down. I was not aware that the VDC system on our platform was such a big governor. Found it pretty amusing as it slowed the car right down to prevent the back end from kicking out.

Just found this thread also after posting, sorry.

With a little practice, you'll be pulling those off flawlessly with VDC off.

In b4 "I got charged with stunt driving" thread.

It's the practice we are all concerned with. :eekdance:

Interesting thread thanks.

Its a shame the vdc is like an on off switch. When I drove my brothers mx5 back when he bought it new in 2006 I drove it almost sideways on a round about and the tractions control and esp assisted in making me a shi* driver look cool.

Where as my own ride at the time an E36 euro spec m3 with nothing more than a real LSD and abs killed me almost a few times.

Last week I saw a young guy in a 350Z do an "accelerated" U turn in a heavy traffic area, he looked like a tool, tires spinning, noise, throwing his back end all around, etc.

No reflection on you LB, I've experienced the same thing after turning right and shifting from 1 to 2, the traction light comes on briefly and I feel the engine slow down momentarily till the ECU considers the slip event over.

It's not nearly as bad in the 370, as it is in the 350.
