Today went with traction control off. WORLD of difference! No only are you able to actually give it throttle out of the corners, but it feels much more planted in the corners since I wasn't fighting with the ECU the whole time. I got a little tail happy once on a low speed very tight turn (turn 14) but it was no big deal at all. If you go to a track, it might be good to learn the track with VDC on, but once you're familiar with the course TURN IT OFF.

That said, it was thunderstorming for the second half of the day. VDC went back on for that, seeing as I had to drive my Z to work this week.

I will upload videos to youtube and post more here. MUCH better than yesterday's video I posted in post #1. Last run of the day they combined green/yellow run groups and I went solo, it started thunderstorming halfway through.
