When I slide his s2k around a corner it always ends up *** too far out, where as my wife's MX5 is very flat and balanced haha.

Snap oversteer is no joke, especially with the AP1. I spun mine more times then I would like to admit. Never spun any other car I have owned. When it starts to go, typically it will keep going, no matter how fast you try to catch it. My buddies AP2 seems to be better but every time I drive it, my snap oversteer nightmares come back!

Good S2k drivers are often faster than I am, with all my confidence.

I think I'd just have to learn to drive it. Slower inputs and more precice/deliberate steering is definitely need.

And the Evo 8/9, lol.

The S2K is great, but for someone who already has an Evo? Buy a Miata, any Miata.. super fun, very reliable, and violently cheap.
