Sorry but I need to edit my post. I meant it in a humorous way and therefore here is the missing smiley:

S2KPDQ

When I read posts like this I think I'm driving a different car.

I drive a MY01, so have the original suspension running the 'UK preferred' settings and use SO2's.

I don't have anything like the problems others seem to have with the car being as unpredictable and scary as some of the posts indicate.

My car will quite happily accept maximum acceleration through the gears in the cold and damp with no issues and is rock steady on the motorway with no twitchiness.

Of course it demands respect, but no more so than any other powerful rear-drive sports car in my experience.

The car is no different to any powerful rear driver I have ever owned.
I have had BMW's step out on me in the dry and the wet and I don't even want to remember back to the old days but suffice to say I spun a TR5 (old Triumph sports car for you young guns) through 180 deg pulling away from the lights once (not racing either). You need to learn something called throttle control.
That said the S2000 is not a hard or dangerous car to dirve if you respect it. Franly VTECing it off the line in the damp in a traffic light Grand Prix is asking for trouble as is giving it a bootful in a bend and thinking you have the skill to catch the slide you are trying to provoke. Save these antics for the track days or better still take and ARDS course and go motor racing.

On the Lotus training day you accelerate on a run way and take a sharp left at any thing from 60-80 mph, anyway it was raining on the day I was there and on the straight leading up to the sharp left the S was fish tailing in 2nd in VTEC. However it wasn
