The Spec V has better handling than the regular S. Something like the better handling prelude. It's on Grand Turismo III.

I believe that it has something to do with the power being transferred to the tire that needs it most or some crap.

Its just variable rate steering. Probably more a gimmick than anything. On the other hand, the S2000 V-Spec does have that cool looking steering wheel...

Thats really makes me mad. It also looks like it may have coil overs and it has a different stearing wheel wich i may try to get. Japan really pisses me off they also get the nav system and all kinds of custom colors. UGH!!!!

Yea, that what it is, it's like, as the car speeds up, the steering becomes softer. When I am traveling at high speeds, I do notice that the steering is a bit tight. Too tight for me sometimes. It's better to have steering that gives a little more at higher speeds. I would probably like that option. It would make driving at speeds over 100 mph a lot less stressful. Ever time you touch your steering wheel, your car wouldn't jump as much.
