Ok, after reading this 5 page epic saga I would like to offer these thoughts, which will probably piss at least a few of you off. Some of you guys have some of the biggest egos I have ever seen. You are making this car out to be like the 8th wonder of the world in that there are only a few people on the face of the earth that have the "talent" or "know how" to keep this car under control, you of course being one of them. Does this make you feel special or something, that a guy has an accident and you immeadietly bash his driving to make yourself feel good reiterate to youself that you are the next schumacher, lol. I will say this very bluntly, I don't own an S2000, but if one day I do and shifting from 1st to 2nd casues the car to spin violently and out of control , I wouldn't call that driver error, I would call it a bad and unstable car. You shouldn;t have to correct for daily driving shifts,, give me a break people. Afterall, It's a Honda people! Not a formula 1 car. If it were that twitchy, unstable, difficult to drive or unsafe, Honda would never have released it. Ok i'm done ...

no flame from me. You just don't know what the hell you're talking about.
I guess not! and by the way, thank you for proving my point so perfectly. I guess i'm just incapable and unworthy of understand the physics of this particular car.

I don't have the talent or experience to take this car to it's limits.
I DO have the sense to realize that and drive within my limits.

I guess all those 80's and 90's 911's that Porsche produced that suffered snap on oversteer if you let off the gas/braked too hard in the corner should not have been released for sale either.
