    was just thinking today how lucky i got, the other side of the road was a very long downward hill. littered with trees. good thing i had taken to hard top off. probably would have done some rolling.

    I have no sympathy for people who wreck S2ks.... You have to be a pretty big idiot to make an s2k get out of controll.

    please leave the discussion to those who know what they're talking about. s2ks are NOTORIOUS for pretty brutal snap oversteer. Its quite easy to make the tail step out.

    I would have just continued the drift up the embankment and hoped for a better score from the judges for style.

    S2ks are notorious for being piloted by douchebags that cant drive. There's no excuse for this happening in an S2k. Driver's fault.

    there have been quite a few of both situations. just because you have an accident in an S2000 doesn't mean you are a douschebag that can't drive, but it also doesn't mean you aren't. there's absolutely no reason for judging someone without knowing them.

    i see a car that was solo wrecked on a wet road. It's obvious that the driver is at fault here. I could care less about how you feel about an S2K's ability to correct itself in a hard turn, oversteer, understeer or any other critique you could possibly apply to an S2k's handling ability. An s2k is responsive enough to handle exceptionally in any condition under normal driving circumstances. It's not a fast enough car to do something accidently. This driver was either playing around and made a mistake or is just an idiot that cant drive. Either way... to everyone defending the driver, what if ur kids were playing in that area? what if you were driving in the opposite direction?

    ...you drive a 240SX. the irony is overwhelming.

    anyway theres no denying that the driver was at fault here, but to imply that its difficult to lose control in an S2000 is naive at best, especially coming from someone who has owned one.

    S2000 is the best handling car i've driven to this point in my life. It's hard for me to imagine anything outside of stupidity causing this accident.

    *AHEM* correction, CAN be the best handling car ever driven.

    great tires are needed. 200 treadwear is "acceptable" 140 is usually a better idea since thats what i came with. but standard footwork on a AP1 or incorrect corner approach will be someones end in this car.

    with nothing more than 18's and rubber, my s2000 made me feel like i was a formula one driver everytime i took it to pinemountain.

    exactly. but the standard AP1 (mine included) runs on factory 16's (being that my roads and driveway prevents me from lowering my car (and bigger rims + no drop is fail)

    but i agree. i've driven AP1 S2k's with 18's and 140's around and its a great way to live

    when i criticized you about douschebags driving s2k's, i was not solely referring to the OP. i was referring to this statement.
