When Mazda introduced the Miata, people were flocking to the dealerships to be on the waiting list to get first dibs on it. Mazda couldn't produce Miatas fast enough to meet the demands at the very beginning. Honda seems to be in the same situation, but with the S2000 they are being very careful not to destroy the high-class image by mass-producing their new weapon. Unlike the Miata, the Honda S2000 is not what you call "affordable". For what you get (size), it's probably not worth the money.

Cars would be driven one at a time on the track for the top speed runs. After each car would leave the staging area, car owners would pace nervously as they waited for their car to appear around the bend. It is one thing to be standing next to the track when a "race car" approaches and passes with all its sound and fury, but a "street" car makes very little sound as it approaches. Tire noise precedes a tremendous "whooshing" sound, followed by the most glorious sound of a four-cylinder engine singing at full throttle. The sound of the Honda S2000 screaming by at around 140 MPH at 9000 RPM can only be described intoxicating. By now the winds were starting to be a factor. The Miata made a run down the front of the track at 139 MPH, and 124 MPH on the back, for and average of 129 MPH. The Miata had just completed about 14 miles at full throttle at around 124 MPH. Not bad! More importantly, nothing had broken. The Honda S2000 took to the track and turned laps in the 1:18 range. The additional 100 HP this high revving VTEC motor produced pulled the Honda up the hill a bit quicker than the Miata. The Integra followed with laps in the 1:20 range. The race-built Mugen engine in the Integra produced 65 more horsepower than the Miata, but the best lap times between the two cars were within a half-second. (As a side note, King Motorsports (Acura Integra) brought along a young, very talented race driver to join in the testing.
