Drifting the S2K: Type V, or no Type V?

[Project.D]

So I picked up a Type V yesterday, tuned it to 295hp's and slapped on N2's...
I was woundering if you guys knotice anything different between the reg S2000 and the Type V... I don't see any different exept a slight difference in the jerkeyness of the steering. What do you guys think?

PS: I am in love with my Type V! It's an amazingly controlable car at around 300hp with Stage 1 Weight Reduction on N2's, If theres any n00b's like me wanting to find a good starter drift car, I strongly recomend it!

I think the type v's like to grip a little more then the regular s2k's...I use the DFP and that is what I find the difference to be.

In the Type V, I steer the wheel a little bit easier than the normal one.

I enjoy the Mugen and Spoon S2000 which are technically modified Type-Vs I'm guessing from headlights so I go for the Type-Vs

Hmm good to know, I like how balenced the S2k's are, super easy to hold thru corners and control

I have use the Amuse and the Type V, I think its all in the torque and the range of the power band.

Similar feeling. I'll try and elaborate some here. Some cars when drifted use more opposite lock than others. The type V s2000 requires a smaller amount of opposite lock when going sideways. Because of this reason, this can be seen as a good starter car for drifting because it doesn't require as much precision in the opposite lock. I personally prefer the Amuse Street S2000 or the 99 S2000 because it's a lot more challenging...but I see the point this guy is making.

Well, I guess the "V" letter means that the "S2000 TYPE V" is the Boxer Engine type.

umm..... what???
S2000's have inline 4's....



The Type V has variable gear steering, a different steering wheel, and some different badging - those are the only differences I know of. My theory is that the 'V' in 'Type V' is pulled from 'VGS' [the abbreviated name for this technology], but can't say for sure.

The VGS could explain why BO feels less need for opposite lock when drifting it.

Here is an article on the Type V (VGS S2000). GT4 does a good job of simulating this with the Type V.
