The S bit me today
Went flying into an island in second gear, the car in front slowed down i had to let off the gas.
Hello back end!
Bit of opp lock and got away with it (more luck than skill)
I can see how easy it is to get into trouble in these things.
Lesson learned.

Dry I presume?
Its not good to let off at high revs as all the load goes through the diff and the back can take a wobble. Dip the clutch and go for a more emergency type stop.
Imagine if it was wet
Good way to learn though - a good scare is worthwhile

I really don't know man. I guess a lot depends of if the S2000 sells. I'm going on holiday for two weeks but when I return I'll get membership for here and post it on here, Pistonheads, ebay and some other forums and see how she goes. I've got a figure in my head that I'll not sell lower than. If I achieve a sale this summer than I'll probably look to pick up a clio cup (

Drive your S in the wet. You'll learn more about it that way.
Lifting off mid corner and losing the back isn't a trait of the S, all cars do it to some degree, and a lesser car might not have been so easy to correct. Generally people get into trouble using too much trouble, not too little.
