When i feel like making second gear (edit, or any sporty and safe driving incident) go -- h3ll to the yes vdc is off. But when i'm just driving in normal fashion i leave it on. Read too many stories about "i had vdc off and was .... crash." Just read one yesterday at work, i hate hearing about that kind of incidence.

oFF!!! Especially in bad weather

Too much traffic to drive at dangerous speeds anyways. If you slip at all due to weather please turn it on.

I always keep mine off. I even have the KP module to remember the setting so I don't have to turn it off every time.

No you're not a noob. I only turn mine off when I'm pre-planning to do some spirited driving

Hey that's my name too!
Ha, no I just like to drive fast and fun wherever I'm at. You are what we call the smart one for gas mileage ;D haha

O, it causes the engine not to rev-up as fast too. This is what can happen to you if you keep it on ;[

off most of the time, it makes me sad when trying to take a turn i could take in my last car easilly and it kicks in... it is nowhere near slipping out and it kicks in, waaaay too sensitive. With the VDC off i can usually go 10-20 mph faster and still barley hear any tire noise, man that thing is sensitive.

I'd be curious as to how the 37's system compares to the 35's, i'd hope it would be more advanced and not kick in when i'm perfectly in control....
