We are saying the same thing but wording it differently. Mass is a lower percent contributor to the total force holding the car back from accelerating when traveling at freeway speeds.

S2000s are in the low 2800lb range with all fluids. About 150-200lbs lighter than a Boxster S.

S2000s are very quick and capable cars, on par with a Boxster S. In terms of quality, it's a toss-up. They are very well constructed cars and the quality of materials is very very good. The Boxster has some advantages like a much nicer top (insulated and lined - makes a big difference) and a much more refined driving experience. It's quieter and more luxurious. The penalty is weight.
