Default Strange VDC issues w/boost

Does anyone else have the VDC come on under heavy acceleration? Mine comes on when full boost is reached but the tires are not breaking loose.

I almost always have mine "ON." works well.....only comes on when the tires break loose or on a hard shift. I ony turn it off when I want to get sideways!

Same here I leave it on and it doesn't intervene even under full boost unless I break loose or shift hard.

Cutting throttle?

Braking?

Flashing lights?
