Do you feel confident behind the wheel

I put my S2000 into a curb because of oversteer, but not because it "all of a sudden" did this (IE: "snap oversteer), I knew it was coming, and it was my own dumb fault.

The S2000 behaves like a RWD car, because it is a RWD car.

I just reread the original post. Let's see pictures of this quarter mile driveway!
Haha, it's actually about a mile long, but it has a bunch of hills and curves. There is only one short stretch where you can gun it right before a 90 degree turn. But sorry, I don't have any pics of the whole driveway- just a pic of the very end with my old S in front of the house.

You live in the 808 state and you are calling me lucky?!

Whereabouts do you live? My girlfriend is from near Waikiki.

I would say I feel confident behind the wheel, but at the same time I don't push things too hard on the streets. I'd really like to start autocrossing so I feel more comfortable.

I have noticed significant oversteer though, at least compared to my 300ZX. Probably because the S is so much faster and makng a lot more power, any throttle in a hard turn while in VTEC is going to have the tail trying to kick itself out.
