I DD my S2000, and when I'm going to work and such I leave VSA on as a safety feature. I noticed today though that without intending to, I unintentionally used an odd workaround instead of just turning it off.

I ran around a corner quick and wanted a bit of oversteer for fun. I knew VSA was about to kick in and ruin the oversteer, and without thinking, I turned the wheel an extra ~20 degrees so VSA would let the car alone while the back end slid a tiny bit.

It worked flawlessly--the rear slid out just a bit in a controllable way, and I got that little bit of fun slip I was hoping for.

Has anyone else ever found themself doing something like this?

 

 

 

lol

 

Yeah, I figured I deserved something like that...

And now nobody will fess up and I'll look like the only fool who's ever done it. Of course, maybe I am the only fool who's ever done it...

 

 

good ole shitty 2004 AP2 aint got VSA so i cannot exactly relate

Dunno wat all the flaming is for tho, maybe if I had VSA id get it lol

 

no vsa kr00 checkin in

 

My $0.02:

If you want to get the tail out, use your driving skill and turn off the VSA.

If you want the daily driving nannies, keep it on.

IMHO, it's silly to try and ask the VSA to correct a correction. What are you accomplishing? You can push the VSA past the point of helping you and drift that way, but is that safe? And what's the point?

I keep my car in line on public roads and keep that stuff for the track and the autocrosses.

 

Try it again with it off and see what happens
