F1, I agree with your comments. But you have to remember that the Acura trannies have to handle less torque and are direct-linkage (vs cable for the Boxster due to location). Same with the S2K and Miata, both of which have awesome shifting feel. Get the B&M short shift. I will help immensely with getting rid of the the loose, ropey feel.

Actually, the RSX Type-S 6-speed is a cable shifter, and had even tighter throws than the GS-Rs transmission. And 192 lb. ft. in the '01 Boxster in my case vs. 162 lb. ft in the S2000 isn't really that big a difference design-wise, plus the S2000 tranny has 240 hp going through it as opposed to my 217. It's a wash.
Besides we're not really disagreeing. All I really meant to do was debunk the "perfect 5-speed" argument.
