off....buy the KP technologies module so you don't have to turn it off every start.

+..you get to hit the gas pedal

Off unless it is raining. I hardwired a VDC kill switch into the center console that I've started to use almost all the time.

Mine is usually off if I plan on boosting in the first 2 gears, if not VDC will kick in when boost hits. ALWAYS OFF when racing, but for highway driving/boosting I usually keep it on....

I made it a habit to turn it off right after I start the car. There's nothing worse than losing a race and looking like a dumbass because your traction control kicked in and you forgot it was on.

I've turned it off once and it does make a difference. I usually drive with it on though.. but that's because I haven't driven it in warm weather yet.

failsafe....you should look into the vdc module. Once it's off, it's off until you turn it on again. You only have to splice a couple of wires and you're set.

I leave it on for the street, but it is off at the track. It helps me from getting a ticket from spinning my tires!
