Default Useless Late-Model Feature

After two sessions yesterday of computer controlled non-sense, I think I've found the most useless option on the car...



I'll admit it's not nearly as intrusive as the system found on the early Zed's, but SOB does it inhibit ANY kind of throttle steering. It played nice when it was only modulating the rear brakes to maintain balance, but when it started cutting throttle, its day was done.

For those of you with MY's not offering VSA, you're not missing a thing.

You'd think they would have left that off the CR's. You can get it without air conditioning and radio but not traction control...

I wouldn't mind it, especially with in the rain. I've been in several S2k's spinning backwards on the street. (as a passenger) VSA would have saved both spins faster than the driver.

I wouldn't mind having VSA especially since it can be completely turned off.
