I definately agree with the last post. I have to say, be especially careful in the wet. Hitting VTEC at 6000rpm or even at lower rpm can cause "snap oversteer" very quickly and have you looking back the way you came before you know what happened.
I reckon it is good (once you have learnt the gears and clutch properly) to take the car out at a time of day where there are no cars on the road, in the wet, and at low speed on corner with a lot of room, punch the accelerator in a low gear and see what happens. Just make sure you can't hit anything! I do this in an industrial area where the roads are huge and there is not a car in sight after business hours. It really is a good thing to know how it feels to lose grip and how to handle the car when it does. The s2k can be quite sensitive and needs respect.
All that said, go do a driving course! They will teach you all these things properly. Also, after you have done it, don't get too cocky with your abilities.
Learn the car and have awesome fun doing it!
Drive safe guys!
