About TCS/VSC - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

So I've had my car for 8k miles and decided I'd give it a go with the TC/VSC ON. I was zooming along when faced with an off camber up hill 90. What shocked me was I had the car in opposite lock before the VSC kicked in. Warning that will magnify the opposite lock by 10. Damn near ran off the pavement due to my butt being faster to feel the slide than the nanny was.

Man. I want some pizza.

I have never experienced anything like that with or without the VCS. Sure you didn't just over correct?

To be at opposite lock you have to be holding a HUGE drift angle. Anything less is an over correction.

You drove 8000 miles with the VSC always off ?

You gotta have traction control on a pizza, or else the cheese slides off the crust.

If true you car is not operating properly. You have to do amazingly stupid things to get the car in to a serous slide with the VSC on.
I have accidentally left it on a few times at the auto X once going it wont turn off and it completely screws over my run. There's no way I could get opposite lock unless I was out of control.
