Anyone else think the S2k is hard to drive?

You know, I had to get rid of my S a little while ago because of internship reasons (the internship being unpaid), and now I drive a VW Rabbit. My girlfriend has an AP2 and I drive her car whenever we go out, haha. I find that I drive better when I drive the S and that it's easier for me to drive a sports car than an econo-car with a soft suspension and long shift lever travel. I find the S to be a very easy car to drive if you have common sense and respect what the car can and can't do.

I haven't had a chance to take mine to the limits as there are no autocross classes or anything like that here. The best I can do is push it around a few bends and hope the cops aren't watching. That's the only way I can learn here.

i cant drive it smoothly unless i give it alot of throttle and release the clutch slowly especially from 1-2. i think its called riding the clutch. if i dont dont it kinda jerks or feels rough. which is better for the car using my technique or rough shifting.

Compared to other FF or AWD cars, the S2000 is very difficult to drive at the limit. You need to concentrate more and have faster reflexes. Compared to other FR cars, it is stillmore difficult.
I came from FF Type R civic when I bought the S2000, and until now, I am just discovering new limits of the car in the track. I have a 325 and an M3 too, so I am not a newb on FR cars!
My other firends have tried my car also at the track, and they commented on how sharp the handling is...rewarding if driven well, but not forgiving! And these are coming from guys who drive Porsches (996 turbo and 996 GT3 and 997 GT3), E30 M3s, EVOs and Subys.
