In order to keep peeling out on a 2nd gear scratch, you gotta turn off the VDC button.

The only thing that I can think is that maybe it wheel hops for a second and then grips and kills the RPM's? Can that happen? I was figuring at that high of an RPM it would just start spinning and keep spinning until I let off. It's really weird.
I don't think the tires would be wheel hopping. Too much torque and power in the Z. I have never experienced that. Usually when I turn the VDC off and hit a 2nd gear scratch, my rear end fish tales and make a beautiful tire burning sound. I have hit 2nd gear scratchs many times and never had this problem in my Z. Now I can tell you from experience, that my daily driver does "wheel skipping". When I accelerate too fast the front wheels will skipp, causing the car to shake violently. Sounds like the damn transmission is going to fall out. This is caused by Clutch clatter. It is when the flywheel gets worn out uneven, either because of abuse or just plain out too much usage. In order to correct this the flywheel must be resurfaced.

I'll have to go out tonight and try to do it so I can give a better description of it...I'll get back with ya. Thanks!

sound more like a "PROBLEM" than a "issue" to mee.. def want VDC OFF! (like you said it was) try fast feathering the clutch out as opposed to "dropping" it youll tear up yer tranny be gentile but steady... i can do doughnuts at 3k

By the way ... to the guy who started this thread ... 6K??!! What the heck are you thinking? I can lay tracks at 2500!

I'm used to a different kind of car. Only did it once.
