It shuts down the stability control as well. With all the snow I turn it off so I can enjoy a good power slide.

Without a LSD...if one of your rear tires are spinning...the VSC will step in and cut as much power thats needed to gain some traction.

If you have an LSD fitted...basicly both rear wheels will have to have lost traction for the VSC to kick in
