The S2000 is extremely sensative to lift-throttle oversteer (or trailbraking). The 50/50 weight balance and short wheelbase to width ratio make it very eager to rotate. You'll see a lot of horror stories of people wrecking them because many people came straight from FWD to the S2000. The S2000 requires constant attention at the limit to keep from swapping ends. I've already done it a couple times on the autocross course. I won't push it too hard on the street.

lightningd: I think you mean FWD has the advantage of being able to power out of an oversteer situation. If you get on the gas in a RWD car when the rear end is already breaking loose, you're going to find yourself around a tree.
