i was wondering about this question. i was going to go to the track this weekend and see what the car will be running in the 1/4. Would there be a difference if i took off the vdc?
I know this is a simple question but was looking for more of a complex answer. thanks.

still vdc dave. My car is equipped with vdc, the vdc light comes on under slipping/cuts power at the strip/autox. VDC>TCS, traction control is integrated into the VDC.
Itd be nice to have a button to turn off just the tcs instead of the full vdc, but we dont have one. Breaking tires loose is ok, but getting sideways at the strip its dangerous.

Sometimes when it's really cold out and I try to really get on it the VDC will kick in and totally bog down my engine to the point of full cut-off so you definitely can go faster with it off...the reason it did it was bc it was cold and it sensed my tires would've spun with the massive amount of power being distributed, haha!

TCS looks for wheel speed differences between the front and rear wheels and mainly adjusts the throttle to control wheels spin. It can also manipulate the brakes.
VDC looks at wheel speed differences between ALL wheels, the steering angle and the Yaw/G-force sensor then mainly uses the brakes to control the stability of the car. It can also manipulate the throttle.
I've had VDC kick in on me a couple times on a road course and I never lost power/throttle, it was all braking.

They sell a module you can hook up to your Z to allow you to keep it turned on or off when the car starts.
