Hey just curious. Since Honda made the S2K rear wheel, has anyone tried drifting with it. I know its a stupid question, but legit since Honda doesn't make many rear wheel drive cars, expecially those that are driftable.

 

Yep, it's driftable, I don't recall where, but I saw a video of one drifting.

 

Good luck with it... the car has sooo little torque... and sooo much grip... it makes drifting damn near impossible

 

yep..and if you arent very careful it will catch and spin u the other way....

 

i drift it all over the place, its not hard at all.... dont be afraid of the rear end coming around on you, its very predictable...and dont learn to do it on the rain ( even though its even easier ofcourse)...its just as fun as drifting my 520+whp FD3S.

 

Its a whole lot of fun to drift the S2K. I practiced all summer last year and plan on more of the same this year. Better get to work on my tire budget though.

 

i think any rear wheel drive car is driftable... look at the toyota ae's. i used to practice in the rain with my m3.

 

a couple of weeks ago i was at the track with my friend who owns an s2000, he was drifting all over the place, it was really fun
his car is completely stock except for yokohoma advan tires
I'll see if I can post pics soon..

Do any of you guys own the car? My God, how ignorant. I've autocrossed them so many times... I can't begin to tell you how twitchy the car can be bone stock without some race tires and a front sway bar (at least 35mm diameter)...
Regardless of what you consider low torque or not, the car just revs so fast that you really are never out of the sweet spot.

But you really knew that didn't you?

And as for "drifting", stop watching those Japanese videos, they can certainly build them, but they can't drive them, just look at how poorly Japanese drivers fare in international racing series.

Yea just go to temple of vtec, i forget the url, they have some tite s2k vids, one is of a guy drifting it on a turny *** course. its dope check it out.

 

I dunno I downloaded a video of an s2000 drifting with a pro drifter driving and it kinda sucked at drifting

 

actually,

there are many different types of drifting, and all cars can drift.

even FF cars.... (brake drift)

 

My CRX has no problem drifting without the brake...2 wheel or 4 wheel drift is no problem and no braking or lifts are required.
