15mph and a slight turn causes you to go into a 180 degree spin?

I don't believe it.

Shifted at 2,300 rpm and into the turn spun out again?

No way.

Maybe you're trying to "whip that thing around turns like its nobodys buisness" like you did in your 350Z.

But for the conditions and actions you stated, there's no way you're going to spin out.

I could see it happening on brand new tires.

Actually, you can turn off the 350Z's stability control, but it's on by default.

This is a good catch. He was probably, consciously or otherwise, being saved by the stability control in his 350Z, whereas his S2000, which doesn't have stability control and has a much more neutral balance, won't put up with the same chicanery.

Good thing he doesn't have an '00.

I got an 04, AND IN HEAVY rain, I take a turn at 25-30 MPH and no problem at all. Sticks better than the S02's, but only about 25% better in my opinion. In the dry, not as sticky as the S02's, which I think is better, and the car is "easily" predictable, and loves to drift and slide out progressively.

The S02's take a while to warm up.

Until then they are very slippery

Honda torque is too much for you to handle.

Check and make sure the dealer took out the spacers. Sometimes they forget and it makes for a wild ride..
