Ok this might soud stupid but here I go. My brothers friend has an Infinity G35 Sedan and his car has a button I think it says VDC. This button when on wont let him burn tires he steps on the gas and it peels out for about half a second then just takes off (auto trans) but when he presses button and turns it off it wont try to get traction the wheels will just spin and spin then eventually take off his button is kinda hidden on the left hand side under by the steering wheel.... I tried finding a button on the Vibe but no luck. Does the Vibe have this feature and if so where? If Im not clear on this let me know and ill try to explain it more I guess.

http://www.infiniti.ca/eng/mod....htmlQuote »The exclusive Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) System uses multiple-point sensors to help determine your intended path and keep you in control and out of harm's way. If the vehicle begins to understeer (plow forward) or oversteer (fishtail), VDC can apply appropriate brake pressure to individual wheels and/or reduce engine output to help you hold the intended path, a major safety plus.Infiniti VDC system is designed to help improve driving stability but does not prevent accidents due to abrupt steering or by careless or dangerous driving techniques. Always drive safely.Nothing like that on a Vibealso check out

VDC stands for Vehicle Dynamic Control. The particular portion of said system you're talking about is electronic traction control. No, the Vibe does not have this feature. I'm glad it doesn't either. I had it on my Saturn and I found it incredibly annoying on wet or cold pavement. Edit:Blast! Joatmon beat me to it again.

Just to add, the 2005 Vibe will have Stabilitrak as an option - however, I don't believe it's exactly the same as VDC, it is a traction control-based system.Here is some additional info on Stabilitrak:

I completely forgot about this fact. It seems like this is maybe a bit more advanced system than what was on the Saturn. I might have to take an '05 for a drive sometime.

When I win the lottory. One of the many cars I buy will be a G35. Love the lines. Saw one in Florida, just washed and waxed, Black coupe with big wheels, nice but not tacky. I told my wife that I wanted one. She said nice dear, but how do we get all the kids to Disney and Universal. I thought if they could put a DVD in the trunk we could get there fast. Didn't feel the need to say it out loud
