VDC = Vehicle Dynamic Control. It uses sensors to determine your steered path and uses brake pressure to help correct oversteer and understeer. It can also reduce engine output.

With VDC on, you can't slide the back out or "drift"..

Also, leaving the VDC off gives you much quicker starts off the line.

Needed when you want to beat the Ferrari next to you at the light! (true story ... thread is here somewhere!)

True that. It was like night-and-day when I was driving the M35 rental. Much more responsive and "fun".
