What's more concerning is that in trying to "prove" a point about the S2000, the OP almost took out another car in the process. OK, it was only a Vectra but it's a bit irresponsible nevertheless.

My a#53 ! i can drive, ive done many forms of motor sport including drifting an m3 so a little step out was far from a worry .
Often, that same person ends up in an "accident".
Usually with consequences for an innocent third party.
Do not be under the false impression that being able to drift a car around a track or being quick in competition in any way qualifies you as a safe, fast road driver.
It does not.

Because everyone I know who actually takes part in motorsport for real, not on an Xbox, including me and several others on this board drives with a modicum of care and attention on the road, neither 'hanging the tail out' nor chalking up 'kills'.
There's a reason for that, and it's to do with realising how things can go wrong with very little warning, and no matter how good a driver you are (or in your case, think you are), there are many circumstances beyond your control which can result in you losing control of your vehicle. On a circuit is one thing, at least everyone is there for the same reason, on the road, it's entirely another.
So if you had taken part in any meaningful form of motorsport, I doubt you'd be posting the peurile crap you did at the start of this thread.
