The RSX is also a FWD car with shitty stock tires. It's very easy to chirp pretty much any FWD manual car. With the S2000, it's RWD, PLUS it has some sticky-ass tires. If you wanna chirp it, you gotta be kinda fast and harsh with the clutch, and slam it hard into gear.

"side-stepping" the cltuch is the mark of a foolish amatuer. That wears the car horribely. I have heard a chirp can be done if you quickly shift at 7700 rpm. But if you want to destory the clutch and other drivetrain componets feel free to side step at 9200rpm, you can probably "chirp" the clutch at that many revs. And yes, chirping slows you down because it means your losing traction for an instant. Although it sounds cool, it just means your going that much slower. Please do not detroy a car as beutiful as an S. Thanks, Mike

Forget what everyone on this board says. The majority of the people on this board are track junkies and the rest (of us 
) are in Street Encounters. It took me over a year to learn how to chirp in this car. I have driven a lot of cars and the S is the hardest to chirp in. I first thought it was the LSD but really it isn't. First and foremost, you must have good technique when it comes to shifting. What I learned is that try to drive around town (normally; not VTECing like crazy 
) and perform your shifts so that your car doesn't jerk or lose momentum during the shift. Once that's mastered, shift how you would normally but up high at 8K+. Keep in mind the drop of the revs and the feeding in of the throttle. If this still doesn't work for you, you should try raising the PSI in your tires. Latez!
