he said he let off the gas and steered straight, but the vdc overcompensated and he lost control. this was just a guy at a tire place, so who knows...

 

ya. kinda what i was thinkin. not too many people want to admit they got skeert!

 

stats show than 80% of the accidents on the forums occur when VDC is on. Knowing your and your car's limits are the best VDC not some computer BS interfering with u and the car.

 

would infiniti or any car company really put somthing int oa car that was dangerous, and woudlent help you drive, if it wasnt for engine preformance

 

because they didn't realise that people would abuse the VDC and think that it can beat physics. Again most important so called "VDC" is the driver himself.

 

I think thats bull... most of the crashes i see are with the VDC off expecially during the rainy season...

 

Actually the statistic is probably accurate because 99.99999% of drivers never turn it off. For the .000001 % of drivers who have professional driving skills, VDC is unnecessary. For the rest of us it could be a life saver. Hell, I've spent thousands of dollars attending high performance driving schools, and I leave my VDC on unless I'm in a drag race. Granted that there are rare occassions where VDC may not be helpful just like ABS may not be helpful, but in the vast majority of cases both are extremely helpful.

 

on, theres no reason to turn it off

 

Plain and simply put if you know that you are going to test anything that looks at you wrong leave it on. If you have control and are a driver then off with it. The best thing to do to learn your G or Z is to take the VDC off and go into a parking lot (empty with no poles and enough space for a lot of cars) and get a feel for the car so you will no what the car is capable done.

 

i say l;eave it on unless ur trying to spin ur tires..cause it safes lifes..and u can trust me on that...saved mine and hi tech's lol hi tech i see u up in here dog

 

Maybe one is safer by staying off the forums. LOL

 

off, unless the roads are wet at this point. This is my 4th RWD vehicle, but my first with VDC or any other computer management. I find the car drives better/smoother in Manual Mode with it off. I also find the VDC a bit unnatural/intrusive on dry pavement at this point. Two of my previous RWD vehicles were stick shift, so if i started fishing the rear end out too far all i had to do was step on the clutch and it would come back in. Not an option in my G as it is an auto. In my younger days I used to go to empty parking lots and practice in the snow/rain or in my Jeeps I would go off road and play in the dirt a lot, so I had a pretty good feel for the vehicles. I have not played around with the G yet and will probably wait till it snows this winter to use an empty parking lot lightly as I am not as young as I used to be.

Go FI and then say that........

 

its seriosly something i do everytime i get in my car....its almost just as neccessary as putting the key in...i start the car, i turn off vdc.

 

Leave it on. Turn it off only when you're racing and spinning wheels. Very simple.
