took vdc off

chuckd05 · 03-01-2011, 07:52 AM

Not that the s2000 is a torque monster or high hp beast but I had two of them. 03 and 01 so I can't say anything about the newer ones but I loved that the S2K had no traction control at all. You dont see those being crashed all that much either.

It's the Indian not the arrow. I think with Zs ESP since it's affordable , less intelligent people end up crashing them thinking they are Paul walker.

IMO the vdc is better in the 370 than older Zs And gs but it's rather intrusive and not needed on a dry day IF you aren't a scared or inexperienced RWD driver.

My experiences with the first generation S2000 were wicked lift-throttle=snap-oversteer.
Moral of the story? Don't lift!

Those 00-01 S2k's were well-known for that. Kind of brings to light what our perception of what a car with snap oversteer is, since that was actually a well-balanced car, that was still geared to understeer at the limit. The various pig cars on the road have taught us that everything understeers...

Also. I know he's here. Importcovert has upped his rep with me since he has purchased a new z06. Which leads me to believe he may be wiser than I imagined. Hehe JK. So maybe the ws6 stories will turn to z06 stories.

I want pics tho and a video of him driving with vdc off to validate my assumption.

Okay, I got my car yesterday and I don't even see why they have a VDC! The car doesn't have enough low end torque to accidentally lose control. You have to be driving the hell out of it for it to get out of shape. I just hate you have to physically turn it of every time you get in the car.

SPOHN · 03-04-2011, 02:29 PM

I hate that too. Turning it off everytime. Lame.

Astrosfan · 03-04-2011, 03:40 PM

VDC off, not paying enough attention taking a turn into my neighborhood (going a little too fast), swerve, swerve again, and scratched bumper. I got lucky, learned my lesson. I'll leave it on until i have time to learn how to drive it w/o vdc. This is my first rwd car and first sports car.... sooooo umm.....

That being said, i need a clean and subtle front lip.....any suggestions?

I wish I had a penny for every jacka$$ that whines about low end torque.

Oh, me too!
I want a penny for everyone who doesn't know the difference between their/there/they're, brake/break, your/you're, pedal/peddle, heel/heal and when to use an apostrophe s.

For example: Racer's say they put the ball of there foot on the break peddle and use the side to blip the throttle. This will help you when when your using heal and toe for downshifting.

Make me an instant millionaire.
