I read two mistakes --

Mistake #1 - Selling an MR ITR!!

Mistake #2 - Mistaking the S for an STI.

Glad you got out safe, though.

 

This reminds me of the Top Gear Video which u can find on the video google, where they tested the audi tt / 350z vert / crossfire on some sandy beaches. It looked cool. hehe

 

Personally I would think twice before driving S2K off the pavement, let alone on the beach. But that's just me, guess I'm a bit paranoid.

 

if you don't gun it, the S2K will do better on the beach than most cars due to its LSD.

if you gun it too hard and break a tire totally loose, the LSD will transfer XX% of the torque to the other wheel. Problem is, the spinning wheel is not getting any torque, so 0*XX=0! A slightly spinning wheel gets SOME torque, so the other wheel can still give some forward propulsion, preventing you from getting stuck.

Driving on the beach is fun. In FL, driving on the beach is like cruising downtown and what not. Open differentialed cars are super-easy to get stuck. The S2K does fine as long as you don't TRY to get stuck.

 

They've done that quite a few times. Some beaches/deserts are just as hard as road - HOWEVER - some days they're not

Driving your car down the beach is a blast

 

You nearly got handed a Darwin Award.

 

I'd love to have seen pics of this Interesting story - thanks for sharing

 

somebody has to do it:

 

You know i'd love to have some pics of it...

funny enough at the time i was more interested in saving my S2000 from the incoming tide that standing back and taking snaps...

Anyway I'm one really happy S2k owner, the car has lived up to all my expectations.

 

Glad you got yourself 'unstuck'! Nice color, by the way.
