The VDC doesn't turn completely off.
I was just out having some fun doing donuts, and drifts in a snow covered parking lot. I of course turned the VDC off. After a few goes at it, I started pushing it harder. I was pretending to be in a world rally championship on Speedvision. What a blast! Sure enough, I see the SLIP flashing, and hear the growling sound. But I didn't feel much of it working. I double checked, and the VDC off light was still on. It seemed to do this a few times during massive drifting, but not really that much during donuts. So, maybe the VDC is less sensitive and intrusive when it's supposed to be off, but never really off. Has anyone else experienced this?

I did some donuts a couple months ago--showing off to WRX AWD owner. Once I finish, the SLIP warning light stayed, even while I was driving like a blue hair. I just simply shut it off, turned the car back on, then I was in business w/ no warning lights. I haven't done it since.
