If you're really curious read the original Honda press release from 1997

Personally, at first I found VSA only slightly intrusive. 5000 miles later, I hate it and turn it off as soon as I start the motor. |
Yeah it's a pretty smart system.
I didn't mind it most of the time in my car, but when I knew I was going to take a turn and want to gas it or pull out into a busy road I'd turn it off.
