I was reading a older '04 review on edmunds.com and they said the '04 had a *redesigned* the ABS system that incorporates yaw control.

Is this true?

I read the brochure and saw no mention of this stability control feature.

I'd say no.

Doesn't ONLY the Mitsu EVO have this?

Saw someone by Clarkson the other day, was really cool, you don't even have to countersteer the Yaw control fixes the slide.

 

When somebody says "yaw control," it could mean two different things.

First, in the sense of Porsche Stability Management and Honda's Vehicle Stability Assist, there's the ability for the computer to selectively apply individual braks to keep the car from spining out or whatever while in a corner. The S2000 does not have this.

Second, in the sense that the '04 S2000 has it, the ABS computer can adjust the amount of braking force applied to individual wheels, which helps if there's different amounts of grip. Honda itself doesn't mention this as "yaw control" in their press material. I've only been able to find this sort of verbage on the TOV. My understanding is that any multichannel ABS where the front wheels are controlled independantly would qualify as "yaw control" in this sense.

 

But only when your braking, it won't do it like a stability control when your not braking.

 

Well said Elistan.

Wing the EVO is not the only one with the actual YAW CONTROL feature.

 

Maybe, the only one with Active, at least that is affordable.

 

More like "yawn control".

 

Zo6 has this feature as well... Maybe C5 but doubt it.

 

nope, there is a manual yaw control via steering wheel and pedals
