[B]I have a SS Track, I was getting on it pretty good, then 1st to 2nd shift was hard, SLIP flashed and it took a while for speed to come backup.

That is the 3rd time VDC bit me, another time was coming around a sharp turn downshifted to 2 and SLIP, burp, etc.

I am used to driving rear drive performance cars (prev was 96 Mustang Cobra) so this VDC is annoying.

I can see how VDC/TCS is useful for those inexperienced with rear drives, or in wet or snow.


Try "heel toe" when down shifting. This will match the Rev's better so the VDC doesn't take over. If you turn off your VDC and lock up the tires during a down ****, you could be in allot of trouble

On a recent Run here in L.A. my VDC came into action. I was coming into a down hill hair pin turn a little hot. The car started to push pretty bad through the turn. The VDC came to life and corrected the car right away. It saved me from hitting a cliff.
