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.

 

 

rsx, I think you need to go back and read tekAP1's posts more carefully. I'll help you out.

Driving along, gradually accelerating in first gear from a stop light, shift to 2nd around 30-35.[not a power shift] Just happened to shift when i was in a mix of gravel, rain, oil, and the S02's.

Something is not adding up here.

 

And as long as you respect the car, your limits, and the prevailing conditions, you won't have a problem. I fail to see how some can see this as arrogance, OR as saying that the car has a will of its own and a vicious nature. The way some interpret what others say is truly bizarre. I suspect that the smarter guys like yourself don't need the advice but will listen to it, while the ones who need it the most will see the sharing as an attack on their driving skills. It all makes it VERY clear why some of these guys crash their cars. Not all; accidents and misjudgments can sting any of us, but we see far too many S2000 accidents caused by things that could have been avoided. Those like you who have never had a problem, and never will, are proof enough that it isn't the car that is the problem.

Thanks for the input. I have great respect for a prudent driver.
