took vdc off

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

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...
