NFS Payback - LV399 Honda S2000 does not have good handling to make you Car Sick

Showing the fully upgraded LV399 998HP 1993 Honda S2000 performance after the June 19th update in Need For Speed Payback where all LV299 cars are no longer capped.
Played with keyboard, manual transmission.
As the title says, well I don't really recommend this car as it has a really unreliable handling.

LV399 Honda S2000 Performance review:
As the title says, the Honda S2000's overall handling physics isn't that great and reliable which will make God Hand disappointed.

First lets start with it's weird acceleration. It has good launch acceleration with full NOS burst, but it's NOS power is very weak. For some reasons, the NOS power decreases as your car's speed increase. It also doesn't like short NOS burst, they provide very little acceleration. It much prefers longer NOS burst... which isn't that great as short bursts between corners is what makes you overall fast around a track.

Now the handling... It's quite heavy, even more heavy than the R32 and it isn't as responsive to brake drift. The main problem with the handling is, the moment you countersteer, there is a crabwalk effect where the car understeers outward. It also becomes really heavy when the drift angle gets large and sometimes you will end up in a awkward drift angle at corner exits. If you are not smooth, the car will snap from it's drift and you loose all your drift recovery speed.

The S2000 isn't really nice to drive with it's heavy feel and strange drifting physics. Especially multiple corners where the car becomes heavy and unresponsive. On the plus side, it has very strong overall acceleration from low to medium speed range. Shame about the NOS power loss at high speeds.
