No, I think VSS allows you to choose 3 settings for the steering responsiveness/feedback a la VDC. I think the guy from 5th gear is confusing the two.

Servotronic is always on and dynamically changes how much you need to turn the wheel based on your speed.

Hopefully my next post won't be from a hospital bed warning other members about cornering with servotronic!
