I think jon's talking about a "zero-counter" slide. I'll be going there for the first time July 30th! 
Is anybody else going? I'm hoping to go for a ride-along session to get a feel for the track.
AP1 with 205/225 16s and no aero at high speeds is going to be a bit unnerving for me though!

Alex: Had I not been passing that STI on sunset while sliding sideways and losing my momentum onto the front straight, you wouldn't have caught me on it 
I very much enjoyed passing that STi haha! As he understeered then eventually oversteered, I drifted right passed him on the inside!
then 3/4 down the straight Alex had reeled me in!
Jon: I definitely know where you are coming from with those high speed slides! They are intense! I love it!

I could have overtake you many corners ago, but since we are buddies, I decided to be polite (becuz you are very fast so in order to overtake u I gotta really cut you off)
just chill and observe your driving and see how/ when you will make the move on the subi!!
I had passengers all day I wasn't in a hurry to pass lol
but when I saw the chance to go three wide on the front straight making the situation a bit more more interesting I just couldn't resist =p
nontheless very nice move inside the subi hahaha for a moment I thought I was abt to witness both of you guys off track!!

@'09S2k Mike: I have the TP'd version of the exhaust or also known as the headerback version. I'm glad to hear that you liked how it rumbled the building windows.
Since you came from an AE86, I think you'll adapt very well. Seems like some of the really fast guys came from the AE86 (ie: Maxrev, Jaku) so I know you'll get acclimated to the S2000 fairly quickly.

i had a great time =D. first time out in an s2000... i need more time with this car. being used to driving underpowered cars, its little hard to adapt to the speed and braking. =D
going to SOW end of the month as well to get some more seat time in this car. =D

Of course man! Don't expect too much though as I'm still learning the car more as well. I learned a lot just by watching videos and just trying to be smooth while I drive. My first car was nothing like yours so I had a lot to catch up on, however, I'm sure you'll pick it up after a session or two and start lapping some incredible lap times.

My car needs a little more camber and a little more front tire to feel just right. Right now the car is setup very easy to drive. It's not the fastest setup, but rather a comfortable setup where you can push the car hard easily. To tell you how much understeer I'm getting, I'm running 1/16" total toe-in (rear) with more front camber than the rear on a 225/255 setup. The AP2V3 setup you speak of sounds like the Spoon cars with the yellow wheels on one side and blue wheels on the other side!
I'll be back....

I'm holding you to that, sir.
Need less excuses and more execution on my part.
