pressing the vdc button will fully disable the vdc, the light will still show up, but you will have no traction control... i think

To be out of control, is to be in control. Got it! Like a McGang Bang! You don't know what is going to hit you first. The chicken or the beef. It's in gawds hands!

VDC only turns your traction off, you still have stability control... which you cant turn off. On the Lexus and BMW though, you're able to fully turn stability and traction off, not sure what other cars though.

the button does NOT fully turn it off. if you want to go all the way, just pull your brake fuse.

here's sharif demonstrating on trey's sedan

does the stability control have to do with throttle cut when trying to burn out?

Must be nice to able to vaporize tires without thinking of the cost.

If you turn VDC off you can do a burn out. It just cuts you at 5k rpm all you gotta do is rev it up to just below that and kinda blip the throttle or let off then back on and it will let you take it all the way up when doing burn outs. At least it did this on the G35 loaner car I got.

hey, it was a loaner. You know we all tear the hell outa them.


Also you dont need to say lol at the end of each sentence.
