its nothing special to the s2k's differential it can happen in any rwd car under hard acceleration. Shoot I can do it in my integra if I'm driving in 2nd gear at high rpms with the e-brake on. Now just go around a sharp corner and floor it around 7500rpms and watch what your car does then

People usually love it until their car kisses a guard rail, wall, or another car. Then it's not so cool anymore.

Be careful out there.

I have as much fun as I can on wet roads, initiating the fishtail around stop-sign corners. As long as you know what you're doing and how to keep it under control, more power to you.

I've VTEC'd in 1st and 2nd gear from a stop sign on an open road... nothin but spinnage all the way through! I'd never VTEC in 3rd though, that's a bit too scary.

Only time I remember the back end going back and forth a bit quickly is when I was on the highway in heavy rainfall doing 65mph... on nearly bald S02's -- needless to say that scared the hell out of me and I cruised at 50 the whole way home. No need to now though, I got myself some Fuzion ZRi's!
