It's probably quite easy to get an S2000 to go as quick as a porker in a straight line, but is it quite so easy to get it sorted in other areas so it's as quick in the hands of your average driver? I suspect not.

911's vary so wildly in terms of their abilities it's impossible to say what you need to do. anywhere from about 200-340 bhp per ton.
so it depends what he's got as to whether you need a supercharger or just a new air filter
the new 911's are very very good.. the older ones are just as bad imo

The F20C engine is already pretty highly tuned. There are ways of tweaking it but they're all comparatively costly and don't release much extra power.
Forced induction gives the most bang-for-the-buck but it's not straightforward if you don't know a bit about the technical side of things - and in the case of a turbocharger, if you don't know a lot about the technical side of things!
