Default vsa worth it?

i'm about to soon buy an s2k but i came across this problem where 06+ ap2 has vsa and the previous models do not. i was wondering if it's something i must have or not.

First RWD car? What were your previous cars?

Its not a HUGE deal, but it is just a nice perk to have. If you have it, you can turn it off ANY TIME during driving by hitting a small button.

...and just to let you know, you just started a huge thread war, people who say its nice to have vs. people who are diehard sportscar drivers who don't believe in VSA or ABS for that matter.

Commence the battle@!

the real question your should be asking yourself is do you plan on turboing the car or do you just want a basic intake, header and exhaust setup?

the 06+ has a reflashable ECU which is Great for basic i/h/e mods when combined with the HOndata toda reflash. much cheaper, more reliable and much easier tuning solution for the s2000. the downside is it'll be mad expensive to do a big turbo setup.

Anything before 06 will require EMS or some sort of piggy back for tuning, but you can use the AEM EMS for serious turbo setups or crazy NA setups.
