IMO shuffle steering is not required for performance driving on a S2000. The steering is fast enough for almost any curve you'll find on a road. The only time I've had to move my hands is on really tight Solo2 courses where there are greater than 90 degree turns.

The problem with shuffle steering is losing where the wheels are pointed when shuffling. If you're driving hard the front wheels could be understeering, and not knowing where you're hands are could cause some bad overcorrections when the grips comes back. That's one of the reasons rally drivers mark the 12 o'clock position on the steering wheel, so not to lose track of angle of the front wheels when sliding all over the place.

[QUOTE=i_heart_my_DB8,Aug 31 2005, 07:17 PM] I picked up the shuffle steering technique years ago after reading an article about Walter Rohrl going 'round the 'ring.
