S2000 Diary 18/10/2010 – Wet drive home
Now that I have 800+ miles experience with the S2000 I can start to understand how it behaves and what its character is all about. The steering like all electric power steering is some what numb in comparison to hydraulic power steering, but on the way home today at 3am I was traveling in soaking wet conditions and noticed how the steering feel suffers in the rain. There is plenty of resistance in the wheel when going straight,but when turning for a corner the resistance in the wheel instantly disappears leaving behind a light numb feel. It seems this is not portraying the grips levels anywhere near accurately as I did get aggressive at a couple of round abouts to see if the S2000 was struggling for grip, but it turned out there is plenty of grip, it is just the feedback to the driver that is lacking. I’ll keep my eye on things and see how things go, thankfully in the dry this mishap doesn’t happen.
