Hello everyone, I just picked an 05 suzuka blue beast! lol I have owned quite a bunch of cars and motor cycles over the years. The car that is getting replaced is an 08 civic si sedan that i had modified for autocross (stx class) and some light track time. I am planning to stay mostly auto x for this car and stay in the street class. I always liked the S2000 and always wanted to have a convertible also so here I am!! I was a bit surprised that this car did not have computer controlled aides ie stability etc. I found that out today by getting very sideways on a damp road accidentally. I am glad that i have rwd experience!! Glad to be here and finally be an owner of this great car!!

You missed Vehicle Stability Assist (and launch control) by one model year. You also missed the programmable ECU that's in the '06 and later cars.

There are workarounds, of course, for tuning and many without VSA claim it's better (even though VSA can be switched off).
