Yes the previous geneartion s2000 had a lacking suspension but it was completely redone and and its excellent now. I guess one person's noisy engine is another persons music. The S2000 at 9,000 RPMs is something to behold.
And sometimes I wish Porsche would just buy the gearbox from Honda. It might reduce the cost and improve the car.

incidentally the most successful roadster in the history of sportscars as documented by Guiness Book of Records is the Mazda Miata.
Slap an FM Turbo on the 1.8 and your near 220 RWHP.
The poor man's Lotus Elise.
