And your claims of every S2K driver knowing how to drive stick...that's a bit of bull**************** pride. And seeing more S2K's at the autocross? BFD. Maybe more Boxster owners prefer the track to driving around in parking lots. 
Here's the bottom line...the S2K is being discontinued even with a modest price of $30K. Meanwhile, the Boxster continues to sell. Maybe Honda should've came out with automatics so they can continue to sell cars. Interestingly, what are the 2 cars that don't sell well at Honda? NSX and S2K. Does Honda not know how to make a sports car?

Read enough on the S2K board and you’ll find at least 5 praises for every 1 criticism for the Boxster. The criticisms are generally about the cost, not the car itself.
FYI The SCDA events I mentioned are road course track events. They run on NHIS, LimeRock, and Watkins Glen. Just about everyone there – F-guys, P-guys, Vette-guys – are great people and a joy to chat with. Maybe most Porsche folks race within their own PCA circle, I don’t know.
S2000 is not being discontinued. I don’t know where you learn that rumor from. They sell just about as many units as Boxsters each year even without AT. They are not the hot items they once were, but they are doing OK.
