Pretty much the same as traction control and electronic limited slip differential and all the other names its given by different car manufacturers. It's described in detail in page 5-27. Which is exactly the cause of confusion since the manual says traction control is turned off with the vdc button in one section but in another section it says abls stays on even if vdc is off.

Yes, I do know that traction control/abls/electronic lsd/etc..... is nothing more than a software program added to the already existing ABS software and hardware. And that's why a sure way to totally kill off traction control in any car is pulling out the abs fuse.

Pharmacist... correct me if I'm wrong? But are you saying that VDC can be turned off fully.
And when u turn off VDC you also turn off TCS.... But, TCS never fully shuts off?
So if the 370 feels too much slip? It will automatically reactivate TCS?

Yes, the ABS can be turned off fully, however, AT's still won't be able to brake-launch because they need to find a way to prevent fuel cut. I tried it on my G37. Took out the fuse but still couldn't get the damn thing to brake-launch at 3k rpm or do a burn out on a dry surface.

Check the AT launch Vid in post #34.....Looks like wheelspin to me!

Can i rev in Neutral then throw into Drive?

Brake launching in my G35 was not easy. I would get minimal spin most of the time.
Same in my altima 3.5se sedan. But! If ur on slightly uneven pavement n u smash the gas. It will spin like u revvin it up off a manual.
The auto tranny could use more torque. 268/258 is fine for the manual but on the auto it would be nice if was closer to matching the hp. That's why u see mustang and camaro autos doing wheelspins like champs! Weight to tq power is significantly higher.
But the flipside is the don't handle worth a damn n body structure of those cars hinders certain driving capability IMO. So if I had to choose burnin rubber or precision handling. I'll take handling.

spinning the wheels on demand is kool though
