Evolution in Action,...

...that and I think many people having accidents have previously been driving front wheel drive cars. Front wheel drive reactions in an S2000 are a recipe for trouble.

Greg, I think you jinxed yourself posting this... you started this thread 36 hours, within minutes of being exactly on the NOSE, before the Deer Charlotte incident!

Ambient temp 29 F...

Tires only slightly warmer...

Engine at 3 bars...

VTEC turning onto 50mph road from dead stop...



The rear came out...was very controllable, the tires had only 665 miles on them.

Yes, the cold definitely plays havoc.

Yea, it's great here as well...after 10am

PS: I highly recommend driving fast during a major earthquake. From personal experience (Northridge) I can say that it's quite exhilerating!
