what DC2 said. so basically when the tail starts to lose grip most people will lift off the throttle and slam on the brakes. that will guarantee a spin. better to stay on the throttle or in some extreme cases go full throttle and steer your way out of the situation.

I'll keep that in mind. I would have thought to brake and steer into the turn. :doh:

I was so used to flooring the throttle near the apex of the turn in the GSR to shoot out but uuuhh you get quite a different effect in the S2K. h:

That's fine, but if you want to hit the corner hard you have to steady the throttle.

Your car is a good stepping stone. Yes it'd be nice if that thing was RWD.

Demolition Derby?

Braking in a corner = not a good idea.
But defienently take it easy. I've had too many close calls in a car that isn't even close to what yours is. The faster the car is, the faster you get into trouble. It's always better to avoid a situation where you are about to loose control anyways. You can't always save it.

But out of curiousity, do you plan to race it?

awesome pickup man :clap:

I'f you got a hardtop, I'd get red. Only reason I would get a hardtop would be for the winter. The rest of the time I would drive it topless. Especially since you have the RSX as a daily driver.
