well...I dont think that's what you should be doing anyway, you'll absolutely destroy your brakes. the break-gas method works more like, hold break down with your left leg, then stomp on the gas but only hold the break down for a millisecond once u've pressed the gas..on the right pavement the car will peel out for a whiiiiiile. try it.

I have..or *something* is going on sometimes, it just interferes with throttle when doing some particular things...I'll try to notice exactly when it kicks in next time.

I remember the first time I turned mine off...I kicked out the back end while making a left turn like a week after I got the car. I think my heart skipped a beat

Anyone notice cruise control doesn't work with VDC off? At least it doesn't with the tech package, couldn't say for anything else.
