VDC cuts throttle off, applies brakes to an individual wheel (if needed) when it detects any kind of wheels spin.

PROS = safe
Cons = Slow

Vechicle Dynamic Control (VDC)

[/QUOTE] Working together with the Traction Control System, VDC uses various sensors to help determine you’re steered path and helps keep you in control, if the vehicle begins to over steer or under steer VDC can apply appropriate brake pressure to individual wheels and/or reduce engine output to help you hold to the steered path… [/QUOTE]

i copied and pasted lol

VDC = Vehicle Dynamic Control.

VDC also includes traction control, so you will not be able to do burnouts with it on.

Basically, don't ever turn it off unless you have a good reason to.

See that thread for some more information.
