I would agree that it's really easy to kick the tail out with the S2000. I've actually spun out a few times on track and at autoX events when I've pushed it to the limit or when it was cold and wet.

What was an eye-opener to me was when I drove my S2000 around a wet skid pad and realized how challenging it was to balance the car to keep the drift going around the circle. It was so much easier to keep that balance with a G35 coupe on the same skid pad. By that I mean the G35 had a much bigger range in the angle of slide where you could maintain the drift compared to the S. With the S, the range seemed much narrower and once you crossed it, it was spin city.

This was on a watered skid pad at a race track.
