Can't sell the new vehicles... need them for racing. Plus the toy hauler is honestly sooooo awesome! Can't believe I camnped any other way before 
But the wife's new car will have to fill the void for now... then I see myself either scooping up a coupe down the road... or if I want to spend a little less, and Elise or even less... S2000. Have to get the new business off the ground first, then I can look into those options

When I'm out for a drive, everything goes off. It's fucking glorious..
Commuting, rain, etc.. every ninny is on.
Like JB said, I had some fuck cut me off going 45 mph in the wet.. I had to tap the brakes..
I oscillated a good +100 ft before she got compliant, just stayed off the gas and did little inputs until she settled.

no way.. I need everything ON in the slick, but I do drive her in the rain.

Funny to say, but the S2000 has actually been a VERY good car to have first to get reacquainted with RWD platform...
I've had numerous lessons learned and oh shit moments in her that made me understand respect how a RWD performs.
Nothing close to the same torque obviously, but there are lessons learned for taking turns and throttle input (or NO INPUT!!!!)
depending on tires and condition.
The little the V has gotten sideways/squirrely on me seems like it's very easy to bring back in comparison to the S...I'm guessing due to weight.
Like my work F150....heavy ho...kicks out sometimes on wet asphalt or dirt roads (by accident of course
) and it's super easy to bring the weight
back into a straight line.

Brah, the S2K doesn't have the torques.. but that sshort wheelbase and RWD, plus light and high revverr.. shit will bite you in the ASS!
The V is very compliant, especially with the ninnys on. You can actually have fun with the V without fearing for nearby poles, trees, curbs, etc.. etc..

finally got a chance to read the whole thread, CONGRATS!! looks like an awesome car, but we do need more pics!
i couldn't tell if the wheels were chrome or not....hopefully not chrome. i think a hyper silver powdercoat would look phenomenal on this black car.
and i couldn't help but laugh at the no-mod list...too good. i can't imagine how much more power you have and also from a RWD. i've had days where i've thought about going to auto from 6mt so that my wife can drive my car and i could relax more, but just can't take that financial hit right now since we have to replace my wife's honda civic for an crossover/suv soon
lastly, wow do i feel poor now and i think i do decent haha.

Colts.. all you need is a slow sweeping turn, put your foot into it and correct it a bit as it steps out.
It'll do it with all the ninnys on.. do that for a while, and then turn the ninnys off.
