Default noob question...help!

hey guys, i have been searching about TDC button. see i have an automatic touring Z. So right now it is dry weather, but i turn off my TDC because i read somewhere on here that it can give u better grip on the road and performance. But what is VDC or TDC? can you help me out? is it ok for me to turn off my TDC? well comment back please thanx!

It's VDC. The VDC button is located on the panel under the steering wheel, should be somewhere by your left knee. VDC does not give you better grip on the road, to me it seems more of safety if anything. It will prevent you from losing control. As for as performance, it seems to only help when drag racing because it kills the throttle when it detects wheel spin (chirping 2nd or 3rd).

I'm not really sure if it will do that if you have an automatic

What are the odds of TDC being mistaken for VDC. What the heck is TDC anyways? Also the same comment he made about it being dry outside??
PWNED!!!!

No no no!!! The TDC is your "Tactical Defense Computer", and it's only found in rare Touring automatics. This is what allows your to to drop an oil slick, or use the either front or rear mount machine guns if under attack. You would be putting your self in grave danger should you turn it off!!!!

Homeland Defense says that all new cars will have one. It includes the ATAS (Audible Terrorist Alert System).

Automatics ONLY have TCS; no, you should not turn it off.

OMG!!!!!!! Isn't there some universal rule that states if two Dezi's from an alternate time and space occupy the same area at the exact same time that the planet will implode? Moderator, get one of these guys outta here before he kills us all!!

So Dezi,

You do know that IP addresses don't lie right? So why is it you find it necessary to have several different profiles on here? I'm not knocking you, I am just trying to understand the method to it.
