I love VDC...
"OFF"...!!!!!!! I think younger peeps(don't take offense) have never driven or gotten use to a car that didn't have a skid control, so I can see why they would need it.

I hate fruits and vegetables on my car.

I've had my 2003 G35 at the track, and I was shocked how unintrusive the VDC system is. It lets you get sideways just fine, it lets you power of of turns and brakes the inside wheel so it doesn't spin, and it doesn't get in the way like it does on the street, so I started experimenting with the different behavior, and it turns out that the VDC rewards smoothness. You can go as quick with it as without it, but if the car ever does something unexpected, the VDC steps in, which is great. Leave it on, when driving on the street you can get tired and complacent and it will save your butt when you least expect it. You can still do a lot of hooning with it enabled, and it's fun to see just how much you can do without engaging it. Sliding through a turn, for instance, is totally possible as long as the slide is a smooth one, and not a "snap" into a slide.
i entirely disagree, but hey its your opinion. I absolutely think there is no reason not to turn it off on the street. period.

Even with the VDC off it is still in operation, just at a slightly lower level, the only real way to turn it off is by disconnecting or fitting a switch to the power supply to the G/yaw sensor in the centre console.
