so why did they come out w/ the NSX type R?
DOH! Forgot about that one! My guess is because the NSX doesn't compete too well with any car in it's class. If I was gonna buy a $70k+ performance car it wouldn't be an NSX. Perhaps they were trying to lure back people like me? Just a thought...

The S2000, OTOH, competes very well in and out of it's class. You have to step up to a Corvette or M3 to get a better all around performance car.


EDIT: You know, I was just thinking. Car companies do this all the time. Look at the Z06, Viper ACR, and the aforementioned NSX-R. Alright, after careful consideration I retract my statements. Bring on the S2000 Type-R!

From what it sounds like, you have to rev higher because your clutch doesn't grab as hard. On our cars, the clutch is not a strong point, so after multiple drops, the clutch grip will weaken, resulting in what you are experiencing now.....

For a good tire squall there are way too many ingredients; tire temp, tire make, moisture, angle of surface, how warm the car is, and the most important is road temp. Did you change tire/ wheel setup somtime during that 7k? unsprung weight with a different size tire/wheel setup makes a world of difference. Even passengers make a lil difference of course if you rev and drop allot it might be a clutch thing.



oh and that recipe is still not complete
