Does the S2000 change the way you drive?

I definitely pay more attention to my driving technique in the S since it's responsive to absolutely everything. I don't think I actually drive faster than I did in my Civic during the normal day-to-day, but liberal downshifting and fast-in-fast-out cornering might make it seem that way to non-S drivers.

I go around corners faster in the S than I do in my DD.

It does for me. When I drive the S I am much more aggressive, especially with cornering. When in traffic I am typically more aggressive as well. Usually people respond to it and the race is on (nothing dangerous so spare me the ) My wife has a Corolla and it's not even worth it, knowing I will get slaughtered, but paradoxically, if I am driving/riding something legitimately fast, I tend to take it easy.

In the corners, I probably drive it harder... however, speed wise, I think I drive it slower than either of my other cars.--Mainly because cops seem uninterested in pulling over either the Bimmer or the Porsche, but the S always gets their attention.

Yes... when I'm driving the S I become an DICK/A**Hole because I can't stop from shifting and moving fast in and out of traffic.

So the S is a dangerous car.

I guess it did change the way I drive ...

Whether it's in a good or bad way ... I love the S!
