^ Funny how you all comment on this crash not knowing anything about the Nurburgring. It's not a typical track. If anyone wants to try and drive on it I have an S2000 here for you. Good luck. I'll be waiting for the tow truck to drag you off as well.

i dont recall one time in this thread where anyone said they could take that turn better or run that course better than the people who crashed...we simply stated that the cause of the wrecks were driver error because of lift-thottle oversteer...dont get your panties in such a wad dude...and id be more than happy to give it a shot if you want to pay for my plane ticket to germany

Holy crap he drove the ever-living-sh out of that thing! I'm just getting used to the 9k limit, at 8.5 I feel like I'm beating her up. That was a good lap too.

I'm deathly afraid of this oversteer issue and until I get years of experience and mod/tune in the suspension down the road I'm not going to push my luck..

the idea that the suspension will kill you and needs to be modded and tuned out is the same reason why the car handles so well and why we buy it imo, its right at the edge
