What's the difference when you turn off VDC?
I've driven it both ways and I don't notice a difference. Maybe I haven't pushed the car to the limit yet.

Oh, you'll definately notice a BIG difference if you really get on it. If you have a non sport model you'll notice the significant side launch (since the non sport doesn't have a limited slip diferential) if you go in DS mode and punch it. I wouldn't suggest letting it loose w/ VDC off in a regular traffic situation, practice using it in some wide open areas first

I came out of a 2008 CTS (piece of **** by the way) however, if you hold the VDC butten for three seconds the car goes into Competitive mode and changes the set up of the car beyond DS mode. Anyone try this in the G

Turning off VDC in a snow filled parking lot & AWD = fun!
But yea it's very noticeable when turned off in a snow situation, the car will totally slide around and get loose on command. Turn it back on and keeps you pretty straight and controlled, no real sliding / tail hanging allowed.

Just turned off VDC in the middle of DTLA and it's raining. If you were on Fig and Wilshire and saw a PG G37 sedan drift across around noon, it was me. DEFINITELY makes a difference in the wet.

No it won't
VDC will basically cut off your fuel and kick in your ABS to get you back in a straight line whenever your car skids. You'll notice it's effect in wet conditions easily. I strongly recommend you keep your VDC on all the time unless you're on the track or in closed and open area.

VDC saves my butt all time when my tail wags out on slick streets. I would have slid my tail into oncoming traffic yesterday after a too enthusiastic press on the throttle if it hadn't been for my VDC. Which, actually, is dialed pretty far back for the G, IMO - it could activate even sooner in rainy conditions, and I'd be fine with it.
