HI, I was looking to buy an '07 350z but see that the Grand Touring model is the only one that brings VDC. Now I live in Florida where it rains a lot and wanted to know if theres a way to put VDC on a non-VDC equipped 350z or is it really not necessary? have you guys with VDC have it save you from an accident?

Also do you guys have a hard time backing up with your 350z? it looks like you can't see sh*t through that back window.

 

Other models have VDC; Touring MT & Track for sure. VDC is certainly helpful but not absolute. No, you cannot add it later.

Yes, seeing out the back takes some getting used to; you have to learn to rely on your mirrors more. I prefer to back into parking spaces and pull out facing front.

 

yeah but for '07 there is no track model and I am going to get auto so the Touring MT is out of the question. I mean I like the brembo's and the forged rims but the price is a lil steep. there's a certain other car at that price range that I soooo want to get, so I want to stay away from the high 30k's!

 

Not necessary....VDC is not a reason to buy or not buy a car. Don't drive like an idiot and you're good. All models besides base have TCS anyway...VDC only kicks in if you manage to lose control of your car.

Buy good tires - that's what you really need if you are concerned about the rain.


About the window - yes, it is hard to see out of. I use my driver side mirror as a rearview more than the rearview itself.

 

VDC, at least through 06, only comes with MT. TCS with AT.
