Vtc - I Dont Get It!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ok, so I have a 98 g4. First off, this is the best site on the net. Its amazing how many people are so smart and really know there cars.
So here is the situation. I always drive my GS in power mode. I can really tell the difference. Night and day. And when I want to beat a higher priced, more common car off the line, I turn off my VTC. And if I stomp on it, there is tire spin, and rubber smoke billowing from the rear end.
Ok with that said, when I have the VTC on, and I decide to get on it, my thought is that the car is working against itself. Just think about it. You want the car to grip and pull. A petal to the metal take off means the tires might spin a bit. But the car is saying, NO, it doesnt let the tire spin. Which tells me that the computer is retarding the car. Not letting the tire turn, not letting the car proform.
SO with that said. I am driving differently. VTC off and power on. And that means an fierce GS4. Tell me what you think. An I incorrect in think this?

since ETC == ECT and V >> E and T > S
then ECT + VSC = VTC ... it's simple math.
