You are wrong sir/madam...I have ridden/owned bikes..
most recently a Suzuki Hayabusa...0-60 2.5 seconds!!
I also live/grew up/ and drove a Coke truck through
Daytona Beach,Fl traffic for 6 years.
I know bikes...I never did understand the culture of
biker types but I've experienced them comig and going.
And you're wrong...my frustration is I've always given bikers
ample room..I can understand the disconcerting feeling of having
a car right on my rear tire...but what I don't appreciate is most
bikers hav no problem putting their front tire right on my
bumper....c'mon..give me 5 feet!
I never had probs with people behind me until I got my S..
it's either because of the lack of rear seat or I've developed
even greater anger issues!

From 1st to 2nd gear from a stop, seems like most of the car behind me likes to switch lane and pass me up because it gives me impression that my car is slow. Is this normal speed when shifting at 2-2.5k rpm? Any one else having the same thing?
Thanks in advance

If that's how you want to drive, that's fine, but then expect people to pass you, because that's also fine.

Trying to "save" your S2000 by not revving it the way it was designed to be is like investing thousands of dollars into your stereo system only to never turn it up louder than stock stereo levels....
Revving the S2000 will NOT hurt it or shorten your engine life.
Revving to 3-5K rpms on normal acceleration will not effect your fuel economy noticeably.
There is no benefit to the way you are babying the car.

And why is that exactly?
