Sorry about your accident my friend, but the wreck sounds like mostly 'user error'. When your car lost control at such high speeds, the LAST thing you want to do is slam the brakes and make the car shift its weight violently and get even MORE out of control. These cars can be tail happy when driven improperly, and I suggest that you sign up for at least one high performance driving school. The cost of it would be less than your insurance deductible, and may keep you from getting killed next time. Consider it strongly. If you have an S2000, you can afford at least one driving school.

I let my love for cars and driving surpass my judgement and common sense. I have a serious problem.
I take this way to my GF's house at least 4 times a week. Im very familiar with the road. And i was pointed straight b4 i put my foot down to pass. I am familiar with driving a Rear wheel drive car.
Aside from that. I found out yesterday, the owner last year did the same thing, and his Insurance co. dished out $14k to fix it. he was only going 60mph. I dunno whats going on, but im definatly suspicious.

NO, it sounds like you don't know how to drive. S2k's are very hard to lose control of, I've never broke one lose on accident EVER. I've pushed them through tons of mountain passes and taken a 2000 and an 04 on to the track at sears point. It's pretty forgiving. Don't blame the car for your shortcomings.

well gald that nothing happened to you and only the car was hurt
still...grim to hear of ANY wrecked S2000s
dont feel bad though, could have been a big pot hole you didn't see
atleast insurance is taking the bill
this sounds a little too much to me
some of us cannot afford to go around and drive a bunch of cool exotic/expensive cars around on a track
you seem to stand behind the fact that it's usually not the car but the driver's fault
well i agree up to a point...
but until YOU have taken a look at his car mechanically ...i dont htink you can make the assumption that it WASN't his car and it was HIM
