I can attest that VDC turned off on an X + snow = lots of 4wheel drifting fun. Though I have to say that leaving the VDC turned on in the rain with aggressive use of throttle in a corner will produce a decent slide before stepping in (not much counter steer needed).

The worst oversteer I experienced was when I had -2.7 camber in the back, it snapped really hard even with VDC on, kinda scary.

My 06 G35 had the same problem.
i think excessive wheel hop could damage the LSD. Correct?

As far as i can tell, its just as good. The tail slides out easily, and stays in your control. Try DS or tiptronic -> VDC off. You'll be happy with the results. (:
