I tried to find some info to see who uses VSC and who doesn't and why. I was just curious.

seems like VSC off is better for GS in the snow. when VSC is on, car will fishtail much more

Really? I thought it was there to prevent that.

Mine are off right now. But, that's because I have to replace an abs wheel/speed sensor.

I drove with mine off for about a month and it seems to be a little quicker and a tad better on gas..

i might have to try that.. Did you keep a log?

Just a mental log, the VSC has to be turned off every time you start the car. It doesn't stay ON/OFF like the PWR. There were days I forgot to turn the VSC off so the log wasn't that accurate. I always reset my ODO when I fill up and I usually get around 330 miles per tank and this time I got 350 miles per tank.

VSC has saved my butt multiple times in the rain. I keep it engaged.

I keep it on (plus it's a PITA to press a button every time I start the car..first world issues I know hah).

But it's probably come in handy more times than I can count -- in the limited snow we had this past few months in Texas, it definitely made the car much more controllable than when it went off in snow. With it OFF, I would just fish tail or slip and slide. With it ON, it probably saved me from doing a 180 and sliding out in turns in snow AND careless turns in rain.

If think personally if my GS did not have VSC I would have probably driven like a granny in rain even more so, or crashed it by now...I can't imagine driving a RWD without it now (almost)!

I clocked 0-60mph with VSC ON in 5.8 seconds last Saturday, so I'd say it probably doesn't 'interfere' much unless you're asking for it with low traction situations.

Almost died once and VSC kicked in to save me.

I keep it on especially in slick conditions.

When Im looking to open her up, I take it off.

VSC off + PWR mode = Win

I wouldn't risk turning off VSC for 10minutes with the roads around here, they get especially slippery in the dry summer months.

Thanks for all the input...

Depends on the conditions for me. In the dry its a lot easier to control for me when my back end gets loose. In the rain, I will play with it on and off. I find more often than not I have good control with it off. With that said I generally keep it on.

I keep it on, I have traction control kick on at a minimum of erry other day. I tend to have a lead foot and been driving fwd all my life
