Default Doing donuts, got question.

I was doing donuts in a parking lot today just to have some fun, for like 20 seconds with VDC off. After I'm done, the slip light came on and stay on, until I turned off the car and turned it back on again. Is that normal? I have a performance model with stock wheels and tires. Thanks.

Mall parking lots are fun...then getting mall security to chase you around. Just be sure they don't get too close

I do donuts in empty parking lots for a kick sometimes, I keep it redlined in 1st most of the time, and shift into 2nd sometimes depending on how long i feel like doing it. I thought being it had a rev limiter it couldn't be over revved so therefore it doesn't matter if you bonce it off the rev limiter. Tell me if i'm killing my car or not, its not something i do too often but so i know for next time.

I'll have to make sure that I never buy a car from you. From this thread https://my350z.com/forum/showthread....&postid=574562 , it sounds like it's not that great to do...

So does someone know why the light comes on and stays on? I'm just curious what the purpose/reason behind this is...
