I have read up on them and that seems to be a recuring theme amung the people that drive them hard. Honestly i want it becuase its a 2 seat roadster that is going to run forever has decent power and looks good. I will be the first to admit that I dont know how to drive a car at its limits with out hitting something. If i got a S2000 i would sign up for a driving class and learn the right way to handle the car at the limits. Or i could use yours hopper.
