On - normal driving
On - spirited/wild driving. Gives me confidence that if I do a boneheaded thing, VDC will help, which in turn allows even wilder driving.

Does it make a difference in the G35x or is it just based more for the sport model? I havent really noticed a change with it off.

my spirited driving gets mixed in with my everyday driving, like today I took a turn coming off a freeway offramp and stayed on it. VDC kicked in quick but it seemed to me unnecessary. I'd taken that same turn quicker in my stock acura integra without any slippage so this thing with its better suspension and sticker tires shouldnt have any issues. it was annoying.
Thinking of turning mine off.

You are not going to notice VDC during your average daily drive. But the VDC will most definitely be noticed when the computer senses your are losing control of your G and is initiated by wheel slippage and yaw. In the past few years on the forum, I have read a number of people that have got into an accident because they had their VDC turned off. Like a poster stated before me, if you aren't sure of it's benefits it's best to leave it on.......you just never know when it could save your @ss.

I wouldn't say as much of a difference in corners or regular driving but hammer on it from a dead stop and sometimes it will kick in and back you down, quite annoying. I turn it off for zero>whatever sprints or tests or whatever you want to call it.
