The GT-R Chief Engineer explains what it do, and how to go fast without breaking the car. Pretty useful as twatwaffles on the internet have been crying about how you’re limited in how fast you can go if you leave the VDC on.

You fail to realize the reality of the situation. He clearly states that in the '09’s owners manual it clearly states the use for it.

If fucking hilarious how every one thinks factory traction control is designed for people to launch.

Any idea the amount of stress that shit puts on parts?!?! If you can not launch a car half decent on your own, you should NOT be driving.

Back to the vid;  
When the '10 drops then go’s. Why do you think that is? Not as much initial stress on the drive train. To compensate for that initial loss they just re-do the fuel maps and a bit more boost and bam 0-60 in 3.3. Even faster then before.

Amazing isn’t it???
