I'm sorry did I define steering and handling in my post?

Even with the advantages you listed, the twins are much better handling and an easier to drive car. The s2k is far too twitchy and not well balanced at the limit. Most s2k drivers take that as some kind of badge of honor, as if they're taming some kind of wild beast. No it isnt! It's just a car with odd handling characteristics. You shouldn't be fighting a car to get it to do what you want.

TBH, I thought the handling was good until the ND & the twins came out. It just doesn't compare.

But then again... (sorry I just love these commercials )
