VDC on/off button
Has anyone played with the VDC button? (located above the slot for the key fob) I have floored the car before from a standstill and the car has bogged before the power kicks in. I thought something was wrong until I spoke to my friend who's a mechanic and he said that the VDC is a safety feature that's really only necessary when it rains. After switching the VDC off and taking off from a standstill, I get immediate power, the rear tires squeal, the end starts to fish-tail and I have a big smile across my face.
Has anyone else played with the VDC button as well?

i MUST turn it off to get through the poorly cleared, snowy roads in subdivisons (i'm not bothering with winter tires this late in the season). otherwise, i won't move.
that's the main reason cars have a button to turn off traction control (even non-sports oriented cars)... so you can get moving on ice/very slick surfaces

I think we've all played with the VDC button, but you really should leave it on. If you must, only turn if off for short periods of time when you think you need total control.
I can't count the number of posts I've seen of ppl that crashed their G, and we learn later that they turned of VDC.

No particular harm done, but I have a newfound respect for the G's ability to break the rear end loose...
