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!

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
