So your car is FWD?
No. AP2, Rear sway bar off. Didn't you read?
I dunno wtf you're talking about. I tracked like that all last season and planting the throttle when the car gets loose isn't going to help anything.

Not only is it throttle lift oversteer, but it looks like there's some brakes as well, which would further unweight the back. Besides schluffing off speed by sheer friction, I'm guessing the only way out of that one is to modulate balance with throttle if you can.

This corner even gets me in Gran Turismo, I can only imagine what it'd do to me in real life.

I'm very happy for you. Fortunately for me the way your car handles around the track has 100% nothing to do with the handling/comfort of my daily driver.

Why is everyone giving Froth a hard time? I have had to put the throttle to the floor before in my s2000. This is dependent on a LOT of things. We cannot quantify the necessary throttle input on someone else's situation. Give the guy a break and enjoy your cars!

Because it is unusual behaviour for an s2000, and it is highly recommended, to not do what he posted. My only guess to how it is possible to go WOT and stay stable is to over correct just as the car starts to lose it's grip. Sure it could be fun, but so much room for error it seems. I havent tried disconnecting the rear sway bar, so I couldnt say, but it's not something I plan on doing.

Snap oversteer from lifting off the throttle isnt driver error? Lifting off, causing the rear to bump steer, or toe change. Why isnt that driver error?
