Sad Sad AT G owner :/
Puria ... Having the VDC off .. doesnt give u a performance boost ... why would u have it off? .. unless obviously you are brake torquing and racing some one of the line. JDM was talking about keeping up on the high way... im sure having ur VDC off will not give u any kind of advantage ... infact VDC should be on to be safe.
....try to practice using E-shift.....I don't think there is a huge different between 6MT and 5AT

The civic cut me off .. and i backed off.... when we drive crazy! .. its never safe .... whenever your drive like that people don't realize you are always on the edge and can die any second ... how about the time we were only going about 35 MPH and you were going to rear end Lek? that could have ended up in a dangerous collision as well. * Knock on wood * i don't mean to jinx anybody .. and i hope we all stay safe but i just think that when you drive like the way we were ... every second we are at a risk of Dying unless you guys are Immortal and I am the only Mortal.
Back on point, having driven auto's all my life as my main car then driving stick on a civic and g35. I've gotta say auto will never be mt. But I totally understand the at guys, i love auto's myself especially in traffic...
In the end.....
It's that simple, go to 6th gear... or go home... LOL HAHAHAHAH OOOOOH FACE!!!!

on a side note though in an AT you definitely want to have VDC off in addition to your AC. I am always hot or warm so i have a problem having my AC on (house/car/work) so make sure to turn it off. But MT's will stil have the advantage but i think its all about driving the $hit out of the car. as others have mentioned its mostly about driving crazy and i know i take alot of risks as I know greg, byrnie, and john do as well (seen them drive so i can speak on there behalf). But I think they are both good drivers and are willing to push the G to its limits.

heh sorry I'm bored.
ya true it might not really matter to have VDC off/on in highway driving and i normally keep mine on when im in the twisties (only one crazy enough to have it OFF is greg). However its general knowledge (and i was referring to racing from the line) when 'drag racing' to have VDC off as it detects slip and applies ABS to slow your role!! i never stated the VDC off was a nitrous arming button (performance boost)???? 
but regardless if you REALLY know how to drive (arjun) a rear wheel drive car and are driving in dry road conditions, you wont ever need VDC because you know what to expect from a rear wheel drive car. all the cars I have had since I was 16 were all rear wheel and most never had VDC or traction control or anything like that. And if you actually want to REALLY look into it VDC can even slow you down in a race where your almost drifting in the turns...well you cant really drift w/ VDC on but u know what i mean.....
i know of its safety in rainy/snowy and it has saved my a$$ in a few snowy incidents this past year.
I got arjun/lek arguing w/ me!!! guys first learn to install a Z tube/intake then come argue with me about cars!!

Puria ... i think you got me wrong ... and i'm not questioning ur knowledge about cars ... well unlike you very EXPERIENCED drivers .. .JDM and I are 17 years old .. and me having experienced due to my INEXPERIENCE on the blue ridge mountain drive when i almost spun out on one turn .. and the VDC kicked in and saved my @$$ ... i just wanted to tell JDM to be better safe than sorry... and he thought that VDC would give him a performance boost .. i was just clearing that for him. Not arguing with you. and Yeah i'll learn how to install my first Ztube/INTAKE
lol ... let it come in first
