Thanks! Well it's not great on your tires, but not as bad as I thought. I wasn't drifting [intentionally ], but it still does take a few miles of the rubber for sure. I prefer the VDIM off. I don't want my car slamming on the brakes when I want it going sideways. I can see the next corner in front of me, the traction control can't. Personal preference really though. Try a few laps with it, and a few without it, at a lighter pace, then go from there. See what you feel most comfortable with. No one wants their car in the wall.

Thanks buddy. I never really noticed the roll until last night. It would definitely help to keep those wheels planted. It's on the shopping list though!

Thanks man. I actually ended up knocking my foglights loose by the end of the night. Luckily that's the only thing that needs fixing

Yeah, the little mileage gauge was at the max pretty much the whole time. Surprisingly though, I averaged 20L/100km for the night out! But on the straights, I know that rocking motion all too well hahaha
