Which of course will mean most of us that race will have to have our VSAs cracked or find a way for it to tell the system that its on when its off. There will always be ways around it. But I do like having VSA on while driving on the street because during wet/snow/ice conditions its still nice to have a little extra safety.

We hear the VSA-haters on here every once in a while. I'm willing to bet a decent amount that a good chunk of that group have never tracked their car. I think that warrants them a big pile of STFU about how VSA is for chumps.
It can be fully disabled in one touch, so no real big deal there impacting the hardcore-ness of it all.

I dunno, but I'm not a fan of this VSA. The concept yes, but on such a hard core sports car you would think it would allow for SOME wheelspin and oversteering.
This system is more aggressive than the one on my mom's volvo station wagon

one thing that is almost never considered by people on this site is how many regular people bought these cars. I.E. women, middle aged men, ect. and honda was nice/smart enough to add vsa to the later MY cars to make the car safer on the road. most drivers who bought the car would have very little chance of saving the car if they got wheel spin going around a corner in the rain. i think that all RWD cars should have a vsa type system to help keep people safe during normal driving conditions.
i'm just glad that unlike mercedes and bmw the vsa in the s2000 actually tuns off when you hit the button. not that it applies to my car though.
as for people who say that the vsa affects their normal driving, you are either driving too fast for the street or running tires with different outside diameters and its confusing the system. either way its your fault.
