Those conditions will own your car with VDC on or off....not much you can do in a RWD car with wide, high-performance summer tires in inclimate weather.


EDIT: VDC OFF!!!

 

lol

 

Turn it off everytime I get into the car.

 

been driving with it off ever since this thread and I'll tell ya I love it. Plain and simple if I wad the car its driver error! One thing is that it seem's like there more torque in the higher rpm is that true

 

i turn it off when i wanna have fun! as in burnout spin the tires and leave some marks. or even practical, i had to use it in the snow otherwise i never would have made it up my driveway with the car cutting power

 

i notice no difference havin it on or off with my X.

VDC is more fun with RWD G's.

 

u should get in my car with vdc off hun,

Only time u came in my car was to play wit the radio lol

 

Pushing the VDC off button only partially shuts down the nanny. See my thread about turning VDC off for real. By the way, although I almost always drive with the VDC system completely disabled, I have a manual not auto, which provides better driver throttle/manual traction control, and many years of unassisted rear wheel driving experience. VDC WILL "save" you from many driver errors in high speed corners where traction is being lost for whatever reason. For the same reason, it definitely spoils some of the fun when getting it on.

When the VDC is on it saps a bit of acceleration out, so i mainly drive with it off (I also live in a place where it is dry and doesnt snow) When the conditions are bad I leave it on. It is really fun to turn off for drifting and track days and thats sort of stuff

 

I have to drive with mine off all the time. Traction is hard to come by.

 

Ya I have a kp vdc disabler. No vdc for me

 

so I'm confused here. by default, the VDC is off for the G35x. Do I need to turn it on so that I can have better traction in non-dry conditions, or does it kick in automatically?

I originially thought that the car would automatically kick into 4wd once it detects slippery conditions. However, you can manually turn on 4wd all the time by pressing the button, right?

 

VDC is on by default. You can force it off with aftermarket equipment.

 

4WD is on up till about 12 mph regardless of VDC on or off. Pressing the "snow" button directs 50% of the power to the front wheels up to 12 mph. When the X detects slip it begins by closing the throttle body to reduce the amount of power going to the wheels. It than can allow up to 50% of the power to be applied to the front wheels. This is a RWD biased system and from what I have read the vehicle likes to maintain that bias. You cannot manually turn 4wd on all the time unless you can somehow signal the powertrain control module to activate the electronic clutch for the front wheels....hmmmmm nah to much work. Hope this info helps.
