RE: yep

As a former S-2000 owner, I can personally assure you it was UNIQUE.

Extremely fast...and even a little twitchy, at times (2003 model) The suspension was, I think, slightly tweaked each model year. Starting in '04, the engine was enlarged and the redline lowered from 9000rpm (yikes!) to a 'mere' 8k. At 2hp per cubic inch for the 2liter, non-turbo, it was also one of the highest specific output engines ever in a car. (piston). The torque increase? minor. Piston speed was perhaps the highest of any street car....ever. Huge numbers. I ran the highest octane I could find and used ONLY synthetic oil. Summer only tires were best, but since I was a year round driver, I ran Pilot Sport all season tires. Not the best for handling, but at least I didn't see God while driving in the rain. No matter HOW conservatively I drove.
Mine? The first year for the glass rear window.

If I wanted a sports car today? Miata. A couple years old and maybe with a hardtop. Not as fast, but just as much fun. And isn't that what it's all about?
Too much is never enough
