Default Traction Question - FI question

Does anyone have traction issues with FI S2000's? Like how is 1st, 2nd and third gears? IF you have traction issues.... and spin issues... do you just keep flooring it until you get up to speed?


DO you have troubles with the back end kicking out or not really?

Does it feel dangerous or anything or ... not too bad?

i don't understand...if you have more power than your tires can handle, then...yeah, you're gonna have traction issues. yeah, the rear end will probably kick out. and yeah, based on this question, i'd say it's dangerous.

i guess my main question is people with FI S2000's , do they have traction issues? If so how do you deal with it. that is what I am wondering.

Agreed. great tires. use to have them on the rear of my Mcoupe. very sticky but the sidewalls are soft. Obviously. its a street drag tire.

Have you ever driven a high hp car? You don't just keep flooring it until you get up to speed (well you could, but that's just silly), you modulate the throttle to regain traction.

Yea it's dangerous, lol.

I've scared myself several times...however this is my first rwd vehicle..so I'm learning as well.

I felt very very comfortable behind my 500whp civic, but this thing at 400whp scared me...so I guess it's whatever you are used too.

Same.. my 500hp civic wasnt scary (except when u wanted to slow down lol poop brakes) It would blast the tires off at 70mph but you stay strait and under control for the most part. I drove my freinds 460hp s2k and it kicked out at 45mph. I'll definitly need lots of seat time with mine when I boost it, its my first rwd as well.
