they are that unstable?? man... maybe i dont want...
wow... well right now I own a 99 mitsubishi 3000GT SL, which is a FWD... its pretty heavily modded and is putting out around 240 horses or so, and I have various suspension mods including stiff lowering springs, huge front and rear sway bars, and front and rear strut bars.
I have been thinking very hard about selling it to get an S2000, I mean I LOVE the way the 3000 looks, and its a blast on the backroads, but I just want something else...
I have driven and modded various cars, my first beater was an 84 chevy scottsdale, since then ive owned a 96 Z28, pretty well modded, a 97 camaro RS convertible, and the car I have now. Ive also had a cavalier, talon, eclipse, but those arent enuff car to even count IMO.
Id like to think I am a decent driver, but if the S2000's rear wheels are that finicky, I may have to think twice... because honestly, I drive like a deranged idiot, and love it. Although in my own defense I am pretty calm on the straight streets, its the backroads that I go nuts on.
Now flame me all you want but I drive going 90mph almost every day on the backroads, which is where I get my kicks, Id be a lost puppy without those backroads, and I absolutely LOVE the stability of my car, theres no second guessing it, I never have to worry about me losing control, I always feel and know that there is plenty of leeway left in the suspension. Am I going to have this same confidence with the S2000? I dont want a car that I cant go crazy with on the backroads and have to worry about losing control of the car...
I mean I know a 3000gt is a pretty decent car, but I dont see how it could be better than something as modern and advanced as an S2000....can someone give me some more feedback on exactly how hard you can push this car before it loses it, and can u feel it coming? I simply HAVE to have something I can push around the turns going 70-80 and still feel stable, yes I do leave my car some definite leeway, I never like to get it to the point where I know im really testing its limits... I just want to be sure if I get an S2000 that the rera wheels wont suddenly go out on me while im pushing it.
