I thought VSA stops your car from spinning wheels.

Does your car still have the CDV? If so the clutch will be short lived from power shifting.

It does, sorta. When shifting faster, or with a little more power, the wheel will slip just a tiny bit. The VSA tries to correct it, making it become a power slide somehow. I have had my car go whacko with the VSA on sometimes. With it off, the tires may spin out a bit, but it doesnt make you go crazy directions.

Agreed, I'm not sure why anybody WANTS to lose traction. I had a 450 horsepower eclipse GS-T years ago that would spin tires in every gear through 4th... I hated it. That was the car that made me vow to never own another FWD car.
