Who said first gen AP1's were snappy?

That is lowered and he could have done anything but equally a good wheelsmith could drive the car like that stock too
my SC one is lowered and very easy to drift but my stocker has very different geo to stock and is more friendly too

Good driving...but
1. every tail out moment was provoked
2. it was very wet so much easier to induce
3. that car does not have stock suspension, you can tell by the camber and the way the wheels fill the arches.
4. Snap over steer is very hard to catch if you are not expecting it hence "snap over steer"
enjoyed the vid though

S2000 regardless of generation is not snappy as long as it's set up properly.
This is a video of me in my previous s2000 which is a preface lift model fitted with AD08Rs which aren't easy to unstick.

It was quite an enjoyable watch.
I think the only point is, that don't expect a stock 110-120-series to handle like that on its narrow 16" rears. It's probably a lot more predictable now that the original S-02s are discontinued, but somebody sure enough will reverse through a hedge unless cautioned! Not everyone is perceptive enough to realise the tongue-in-cheek nature of the title...
The problem was, that if the power was applied a little too early, an increasing rear drift angle could build without the driver being aware it was happening until it stepped out and sometimes it was then too late.
With a couple of minor changes, the car becomes really quite predictable.

I would say it needed 4 changes, the front left, the front right, the rear left and the rear right tyres ;-)
Those S-02s had a lot of grip but would break away quickly and without warning. (I once had a set of Dunlops that had bugger all grip but they were extremely predictable and therefore a lot of fun)
The revised geometry settings on the 02 did help.
