I have the faintest clue on driving a rwd car. So far, i haven't done anything crazy, but then again, i'm still breaking her in, so I haven't pushed it in the car. I just want to know what to do and what not to do before I do something stupid!

 

I would go autocrossing. You will learn your limits quick.

 

Just drive it and test it's limits a little at a time.

Don't be a wild ass until you can measure its limits.

I've seen people post about rear wheel drive alot over the years.

I grew up with rear wheel drive.

IMO It doesn't require any special lessons other than experience and feel.

The S is dicey in the rain. Probably more dicey than any car I've owned. But, different tires will probably change that.

Enjoy.

 

read the thread called "spun my s2000" on the current posts.

 

Well, basically, if it's snowing outside, take something else! The S, without snow tires, is horrendous to control in the snow. It can be done with great care, but you have to be 100% focused on the road. I definetly wouldn't test the limits of the car A)on the street, and B)in the snow. You're just asking for trouble. As stated above, autocrossing is a great SAFE way to learn the limits of the car's (and your) capabilities.

PS - Be sure to drop into the Deleware Valley forum on this site. We've got a meet coming up, and you need a badge!

 

Come on over!

I've had RWD experience before the S, but I will tell you not to take turns too quickly or give too much gas in a turn as there is a possibility of losing the rear end. Be careful and enjoy!

 

Practice;it's a feeling of the car,you can't learn on the net.

 

Next time it rains, find an open and empty parking lot.

You'll learn more from experience than anything you can read.

Good luck.

 

lol, I just did and it scared the hell out of me! Hence the making of this post.

 

do NOT drive it like a civic or you'll end up kissing a tree.
