Does the S2000 change the way you drive?

I definitely drive much more aggressively in the S2000 than any other car. I'm not a straight-line demon but man, when those turns come up... I'm gone! It's funny how everyone else guns it in a straight line going over the limit but when turns come up they're usually below the limit just putting along. If I'm driving anyone else's car I'm usually driving it fairly easy since it's not mine, hehe.

You should always change your driving style by what vehicle you're in. People think S2000 drivers are aggressive because the 7/10s driving in an S is impossible in a Camry.

Hmm, I tend to drive very similarly whether I'm in my S or in my truck. I just can't do quite as much while in the truck.

I drive more cautiously when I'm in the S than my truck. I have to...Cops are always giving me a second look and will follow me to see if I do something that they can pull me over for. While other drivers try and run me over or switch to my lane without seeing me. I have to anticipate everyones next move while expecting to see a cop car around the next block. I suppose it's because of the appearance and sound of the S while having a flashy color that brings some of the unwanted attention. Lately, it seems that the unwanted attention has be outweighing the wanted attention.


Or in other words...

i'm an asshole on the road now, stay out of my day, cus when you see me i will be sideways through the 90 degree turn...

but really... my driving style has always been horrible (from the policemans view), the only difference is from before with my fwd is that instead of going fast and speeding in a straight line, ive added some drifting procedures.

I feel like im always paying extra caution to the police, i've gotten messed with and followed way too many times, and it's the worst when im actually obeying the traffic laws and i'm still being messed with.

I have only driven FWD before. So, I am still learning to drive the S. My friend put his 06 in a ditch trying to "drift", I have learned from his mistake also. Drive within your own personal limits.

Yes the car is TOTALLY AMAZING, and I find myself wanting to push it as hard as I can. I also want to get home without incident. It is like in the cartoons: I have an angel and a devil on each shoulder.
