I'll agree upto "more solid than Miata". I had a couple of Miata's, an
raced them over 8 years. Never had any big problems with them. In less
than one year, my S2000, has had the tranny rebuilt already. I know of two
others that have had the rear diff break also. Don't get me wrong, the
S2000 is a great car, but quite a bit more fragile than the bullet proof
Miata. One other comment, below VTEC, it feels alot like a Miata, a bit
less nimble, but what isn't ;-).
