[QUOTE=euan,Jun 2 2006, 12:17 PM] What exactly was the back end doing under heavy braking, and how was the VSA sorting it?

Sounds good though - on your write-up, I would certainly order it as an option for only

 

Moff - I have to agree VSA is far better than BMW DSC system

Euan - it cut the throttle to put weight back to the back and prevent it skipping around. It also cut the ABS in on one side to prevent it oversteering as the back went light.

LL - on all points especially the car/bush interface


You just don't see it come in until you know you made a mistake

 

Sounds a great thing to have, especially if you

 

Can the Honda VSA system be retro fitted to the older cars ?

When I order my next S2000 i'll just have to remember to order it 20 weeks early.
Top review BTW

 

Unlikely, I presume it uses the Drive By Wire system to work.

 

What a surprize , it works and works well. If only I could find all the damming posts again on how VSA would be a disaster for the S

Nice write up mikey , VSA should be on everyones list for a new S it shows once again it shows that Honda do know what they are doing and are enhancing the car unlike nearly every other system what interfieres with the drive.

Id feel gutted if Id not bothered to wait for this option on a new 06

 

Sounds fantastic imo

The tc trolls will no doubt be along shortly

 

Well if I *do* go for another S it'll be with VSA that's for sure

 

the BMW DSC fitted to my car doesn't interfere with the drive at all

it will flash if you lift a wheel momentarily

but I tend to drive as if there is no backup

it's generally served me well

and I can't remember a time that I've seen the system intervene

if the VSA is like that, it would seem hard to criticise
