Faster? Yes. Better? No.

Personally, I wouldn't like the lack of torque in the S2000. I don't like it in my E46 BMW (2.5L I6) and I really wouldn't like it in the Honda (even less torque and higher up the RPM range.) IMHO, it would be fun at first, especially in an Auto-X, but I would grow tired of having to "rev the piss out of it" for normal driving.

BTW - The above comments on the S2000 being faster than the Box only apply to a stock base 986 (2.5 or 2.7.) I think it would be more of a drivers race in a 986 S or 987.

I would love to drive one in an Auto-X. I bet it would be a hoot (as is the Box.)
