Honda engineers didn't design these cars to be raced around a track. Honda designed these cars to be fun to drive on the street.
The S2000 is the best performing roadster at its price point or size. I don't think that's a coincidence.

Put it this way, I'd rather have a fast car that's fun than a slow car that's fun.

That's why the NSX is still a great car, even though there are faster cars for less money.
I also would have to disagree that the s2k was not designed to be a track car. If the s2000 was designed to be a street car, Honda would've added more torque so you can feel it at low rpms. Most people on regular driving probably won't go anything over 4000 rpms. IMO, you'd have to have a huge (legal) place to drive the s2000 to appreciate its technology.
