Thumbs down Please help me :(

After driving my S continuously for the last 2 weeks, I just jumped back in my Accord Type R and for some reason I felt like I preferred driving it in many ways.. am I going mad ?!

Please diagnose my insanity

Haha, didn't think of that! Looks like I couldn't have hoped for a better solution

Been there.
Even to the point of taking the R26 to the track instead of the Honda.
I never got over it until the next really good track session where you can nail some 'better' drivers.
But on the road the S2000 can be tiresome. Too much gear shifting.

Take it out for a 'top down' drive late at night, that usually does the trick!

Ah of occassion I do miss my lude too.

Must be a H22 thing :-)

The roof down/starry night thing is a good idea, or even a sunny day/cross country road trip.

Failing that, drive a 1.6lx focus, your S will feel like the fastest, most agile and astonishing machine ever made (which it is, obviously )

I'm convinced I could drive my accord type r round a track quicker than my S...... Probably to do with my lack of driving talent, and the fact i've had the ATR 5 years now, so I know it inside out. Might take my ATR for a spin now actually :-)

Yes I used to love my ek9 over the s2000 as well

I think psychologically the EK9 is more raw and has a go kart feel to it but in reality the s2000 is actually a lot faster but more refined.

I do miss my EK9
