VSA is a selling feature for the average 40 y/o buyer. have fun with your magic traction nanny.

and many of them then post up pictures of their S2000 wrapped around a pole. Of course its never your fault...its always rain. Or 'snap oversteer'. Or 'someone cutting in front of me'. blah blah blah.......
If anyone triggers VSA whilst driving on the street, then they are driving recklessly. There is absolutely NO negatives to having such a system on a car. Go to the track, and at the flick of a button, its turned off. I don't see whats not to like.

vsa is a nanny for people that push to hard in situations. if you cant see whats on the road a head of you, dont push that hard. i have 05 so no VSA, drive hard, and never lost it on a turn.
my jetta 18t had traction control on it, turned that junk off everytime i got in the car. if you drive right, you dont need it. its an unnecessary electronic gizmo that makes you think your superman.
if your SAVED by VSA more then once, you need to rethink/correct what your doing wrong.
A wise man once told me, a good driver gets himself out of any situation, by being smart enough to not get into it in the first place.

If you're so good a driver, get rid of your seatbelts and airbag as well... They add weight...
I'm sick of hearing all this "I'm better than VSA" BS...

Shit happens... You can't control it, and there is nothing you can do about it...

for the first five years of the cars existence, it was unnecessary. all changes to the car were honda giving in to a market of prudes. motor was enlarged, flywheel weight was increased. your godly VSA was added. remember, the car is racebred, but is quickly becoming an old man

Honestly, VSA is nowhere near as intrusive as the ESP the 1.8t had.
VSA uses the brakes to keep the car in check and cuts power when the back end gets too far around.
If you don't want it, just figure out how to permanently disable it electronically and use the button for a nitrous arm buttom or something like that.

Maybe the point is that if VSA saved you, you were in a place where you shouldn't have been. Playing on the street is not a good thing and there are risks involved. We wouldn't want to see "I crashed my car because there was grease on the road" as your next email.

VSA screwed me from racing a MKIII with a turbo inside sticker on the window.. so i wanted to know if it was really turbo.. lets just say it was and i stayed with him thru 1st gear but when i shifted to second i guess it lost traction and cut my throttle. 
. VSA and balded tires lol
but i do screw around with VSA on sometimes like take a turn a little harder..
