Actually, the way to learn how to handle any car is to take beyond the limit of adhesion in a controlled situation wet or dry. That way you can practice putting the car on a sideways side and coming out of it unscathed. I do that every chance I get.

I'm with S2khondas on this one - assuming driving around town - which he obviously is since you don't purposely drift on the interstate. I put less sticky tires on the back of mine to let it drift easier in the wet or dry, and I don't go through tires so fast. In the wet, I have an absolute blast going less than 30 mphs using throttle oversteer. Maybe it's just me because sometimes I miss the torque of a V8.... doh - I hope those 2 letters don't get me kickled off....

I think I know that guy.


I loved driving my S in the rain... sadly one day just cruising a little jerk of the wheel, because of some A-Hole, lost it and destroyed my S2000. If you are planning to have fun in the rain make sure you do it at moderate speeds and don't over do it because the car will bite u in the ass. (I don't care how skilled some people think they are, I've seen the best crash because of rain). Most important of all CHECK YOUR TIRES!!!!!


Thank You.

yea i throw on my old oem tires that have barely any tread on them and put the pressure to like 45psi and go have fun, i usually find open space to do it in driving really careful to get there, ill post a video next time it rains its a blast, when i first bought th s i hated the rain since my cr is a beauty queen, but now i dont mind it cuz i can drift like nothing, i can always clean it later, i was ok at first, had little confidence, but now i go all outn, i figure this builds your confidence, driving along one day and u hydroplane or somthing, instead of paniking slamming on your brakes losing total control and hitting a wall you can just bleep the throttle kick it out the other way do a little tandem and keep goin
