Very true . . . you might accidentally pop open your trunk depending on what year your G is.

Ok if your going 80 around a corner and you have to worry about losing traction then you might be going a little to fast

I've tried that... my trunk wouldn't open when I was actually driving. I guess it disables the remote trunk open feature when you're driving above a certain speed.

Sure, just don't crash when VDC is off..... otherwise you will feel very stupid like a couple dozens of people if you do a search.

"Woohoo~ I am a pro driver and I don't need no stupid electronic chips to tell me when I can whip that sexy *** around the corner at 100mph."

You dont have to go every fast to lose control of your G35 with VDC off, just need a shallow puddle of water and going about 25 MPH while you make a turn!

VDC off makes a difference in automatics too btw. It's noticeable.

also on an automatic if you consently turn it off and corner hard it easily malfunctions and the light will remain on as well as the "Slip" light. Resulting in a trip to the dealership
