For anyone thinking about mentioning steering corrections, please go drive an S2000 at the limit (for the road) on cold Pilot Super Sports in 30F (-1 C) weather on bumpy roads with way too high spring rates and tell me how it goes. Cheers.
I agree 100% with that..!! To drive an S2000 like this on these conditions its very hard!! Great driving from me man!!! Keep enjoying the perfect car we own!! :)
I was actually about to comment on how cold would the tires be, When you turned left on that junction you were not going that fast and it still slid. Great driving.
As a fellow driving enthusiast, parent and tax payer that shares these public roads, I have to say.......... This made my day 👊🏾🦁 Nice driving brother!
In general I don't like this kind of content, but, I admit that you do that very well, you seems be carefull (relatively) when you approach residential area and etc.... And you don't seem to take to many risk. And for that I apreciate. I can take a lot of pleasure by watching your video like that. Great driving and nice video. Thanks a lot for sharing
this guy is the definition of driver mod lmao theres no way id be comfortable pushing my s2000 this far ever. love seeing what our cars are capable of though. just be safe man, hate to see u wreck ur car or more importantly hurt yourself👍
That's not how the term mid engined is used. This is traditional longitudinal front engine placement. And yes it's positioned quite far down and back for weight distribution
Death suspension setup is right. That thing was super twitchy. That scares me about the S2000. Because of that I dont know that I could safely enjoy one.
+nitrous36 It's mostly down to the current suspension set up on it but even with well set up, quality dampers, it's a car you have to be 100% alert to driive hard. My other one was stock and was still twitchy but my current set up is just cancerous over bumps. I just can't go as hard as the Porsche which has Bilsteins which soak up bumps all day
+nitrous36 when you see the in-cabin POV of the cayman you will notice it is "twitchy" as well. Most of the "twitchiness" is attributed simply to just always being on the limits of grip for corners and reacting to road surface irregularities at such a low margin for available grip. Obviously alignments help, but if you are worried of having a twitchy driving experience then just keep it below 8.5/10ths
+nitrous36 Look into Ohlins Road and Track. Either those, or billstein PSS9 for street coilovers. I've read good reviews for each. Ohlins run you ~$2500, and the Bilsteins are about $1000 less.
Ah yes, i still remember this video. Now here i am, RU-vid recommended me this video again and still gives me pleasures from this video until this now.
that's dangerous man... you could end up crashing by pushing it that hard on bumpy public roads i got to admit though...excellent driving and some awesome skills keep it to the track and stay safe...
i don't get it, how come on this video we praise his driving, but other togue videos the comments are littered with people calling street drivers like this dangerous or stupid or an asshole, like shit its dope either way
Bob Saget his driving was so incredible, how can we hate on that, when he probably has less chance of crashing, then my grandma going to get more cat food.
I know this is an old video lol but it's great! It brings back a lot of memories. My buddy and I used to do something similar to this on some Ohio back roads. He had his '04 Tiburon and I had my '04 RX-8. The front of the Tib looked pretty good in my mirror ;)
Nothing but respect. I re-watched this video a few times, trying to absorb as much as I could. The way you handled the twitchiness shows how experienced you are. I plan on hitting some mountain roads this summer, but I don't intend on pushing my S anywhere near that hard until I've had a few AutoX/Track days, hah. Stay safe brotha.
Yeap, I'm done with megan/bc "racing" it's all garbage made at the same factory where an evil bitch has a gun to their heads "you slow down production! you work faster!". Infact, I'm convinced a stock setup is actually BETTER until you pony up for KW v3's, (which I think are a very AVERAGE / entry level coilover based on the years of feedback I've read), belstiens, ohlins.... and probably it would be wise to invest in some corner balancing done by a shop that actually knows wtf they're doing (which means you probably will have to ship the car because most shops just hire very average people / high turnover / don't take much pride in their work / don't care / but they like to look the part with the tats/posters/salesmanship persona. It's your life on the line so if you wanna push it invest in a helmet/track days (just keep in mind if you ever crash the car even on public roads, your insurance company will have found out you liked to race as they do call every racetrack in town (progressive insurance does this). Even though it may be annoying at first, you may feel it's more rewarding with less risk involved than this video demonstrates. I used to run my tin can on wheels understeering pos wrx (02-07 you can sink a TRILLION dollars in to the suspension on them, they suck trust me!) on 1.5 lane wide mt road hill climbs with blind corners back when I was crazy, it's totally a game of roulette on public roads. IF you want to go like hell on public roads like this, I would recommend a bigger group, get some radios from costco, and prerun the road the night before at low speeds.
07wrxtr1 I wouldn't call BC racing "garbage" persay, they have a tighter tolerance than oem dampers on a shock dyno and they actually give you the shock dyno info on each individual damper/coilover you buy plus when you call them you get someone who speaks english and actually knows what they are talking about concerning suspension. I've read an unbiased review by an nsx owner who installed them and his impression was they were even better than the nsx type zero suspension and that was without the optional Swift spring upgrade. You must be thinking of BC as in Buddy Club which I would agree are another dime-a-dozen chinese sweatshop coilover.
just came here to watch how this man was driving a s2000 chasing a porsche, waiting for the oversteer but this was a good drive. Correction are a need on this car with a crazy tail.
+Savage No the original need for speed and nfs porsche unleashed were sims. Other NFS games were not. But those 2 games in the series were EAs attempt at a sim racer. The original NFS from 94/95 was a sim racer. They tried to mirror each individual cars driving behavior. And even had road & track help. Look it up.
Good lord that was absolutely unbelievable! There is a difference between driving fast and keeping the car on the edge of adhesion like you did. I wish one day I’d could drive like that.😮
beyond the death suspension it looked like a sub 45 degree day (-1C as per the uploader) around those temps you're losing 30% traction (at least!), and the tires are NEVER going to warm up. Driving at 10/10 in these conditions is what separates the MEN from the LADS
YOU HANDLED THAT TAIL HAPPY HANDFUL OF AN S2k like a pro, good on you for those fine-tuning steering corrections, best to be in control than in a ditch
I actually liked the camera angle, as it added the the drama! That is a video showing a driver who knows his car and its limits. Small steering corrections were definitely needed to keep things tight. Nice driving and good to see you using the car and not just for going to work & back! :)
This is one of the best pov videos ever. I love it. Q: is the Honda stock? Ps: wish both drivers to stay safe. The speed in those woods seems insane :-)))
+Jesse B you should go back and read your ignorant comment. you were referencing a rwd vehicle. And when you're at my level you don't race or associate or waste your time with drivers that obviously don't know what they're talking about, especially delusional reckless ones that definitely will be in well over their heads using chance/luck as opposed to skill to try to keep...I don't want your life or some innocent bystander on my conscious...go find another fool to go on a clueless ride with...you really think he was intentionally going into an oversteer??? it's called driving at the limit, his wheel work is evidence of that. This dude in the S2000 has official car control skills and you and your "the front would be a bit loose" comment is all the proof I needed to know you have not the slightest of clue about how a car handles PERIOD! FYI - The driver's steering inputs were to keep the s2000 in check...if you were driving at that pace you'd be in the trees lol.
Great vids. I'd love to see some more chase videos with the fiesta st as I have one and am in there was of prepping her for some track duty. Seeing your vids just makes me stay focused on how I will continue my mods. Thanks
Woah this video got popular. it just showed up in my reccomended. i swear i saw this video like 2 years ago. in fact i am subbed to your channel on my other RU-vid account. When I saw this video it had a few thousand views haha. thats cool..
mad props. im sure you get a ton of shit talkers but as someone who has spent my fair share of time on the touge i can say you are a good driver. if that is anything above a boxer s you get major props for keeping up to the porsche. id love to run with you in my gti.
Great driving man! Fast and safe! However it would be interesting to see footages from the same run from the Porsche driver perspective. You worked hard he might have been way more relaxing and this comparison is interesting
