Your complaint should be that the VDIM stops you from pushing the car beyond its limits.  |
As far as I know ... VDIM has more to do with safet that "limits". The limit I was referring to actually was driving limits. If you're a very experienced driver, VDIM will actually prevent you from pushing the car to the absolute limit .... for example ... VDIM brakes when it feels it is needed ... even if you want to push the car further. A car's limit itself is very high ... and you won't reach a car's limit unless you're practically a professional driver. But of course, hypothetically speaking, a pro driver would be bogged down by VDIM since he would be very in tune with the car's limits ... and would not need such a complex preventive safety system such as VDIM.
I'm pretty sure VDIM was designed for average drivers and experienced drivers alike to drive safely under any conditions.
If Lexus does go through with their performance arm, I wonder if they will take off electronic aids like VDIM to allow for more spirited driving
, kind of what BMW does with their M cars.
