A little background on the man (correct me if I get any of this wrong):
I'm amazed. Somebody who actually reads some of the stuff I post?

I find myself looking for 350Z's, Mustangs, and Boxsters to embarrass.
Don't be so sure. it's more likely that you'll be embarrassed.

As for asking how not to have the rear end slide out when turning, again, what I meant was, that when it happens, you've got to scrape the stupid smile off your face because its so controlled and so smooth...it's just damned good fun!
What dictate's the severity of an accident is your surrounding's. You could be going only 40-45 mph and drive into a tree, or worse, drive off of a cliff. A rotation is not necessarily smooth and controlled. Luckily for you, you have a MY05. The MY05 has understeer dialed into it, thus making it harder to rotate.

There are plenty of member's on this board who own (or have owned ) a MY00-03 S2K. These car's are far more sensative to what you are driving. Believe me, when the back end come's around, it come's around quickly. If you don't have any real racing experience on a closed race track, it ain't gonna be smooth. You start screwing around at speed's of 60-80+ mph, it ain't gonna be pretty.

Honesty, I was simply trying to relay my love for the car and its abilities
I knew what you meant William

I'm sure that all you posters out there NEVER EVER broke ANY traffic laws while driving your S2000 out on the streets.
I have never broke a law in my life.

This is what happen's when you hit a tree at 80-90 mph. The driver of this car walked away. He was sore, but nonetheless walked away.

WOW! I didn't know there were so many self-righteous old ladies out there driving S2000's...Sorry if I gave you guys the impression that I drive as if I'm heading "to a salvage yard near you" or driving around looking for people to run over. I just love the car AND driving it. It's my daily driver and, well, when you drive it every day, there just tends to be plenty of opportunities to exploit it, within reason, of course. I thought this was a forum for enthusiasts who enjoy the car...including driving it. Man! If I wanted this kind of response I would have talked to my parents. Thanks for welcoming me so warmly to the forum. Y'all (and I'm really only referring to the negative responses...sorry to the rest of you) need to stop being so judgemental and presumptuous!
