Below 6,000 rpm, the S2000 feels and sounds like a healthy two-liter sports car, with a nice growl to the exhaust. Above that, it quickly sees its 9,000 rpm redline thanks to a very light flywheel, and screams like a CART champ car or Formula One racer. Acceleration is not like a big V8. With useable power between 4,000 and 9,000 rpm, shifting is not as necessary as one might think. The aluminum shift knob does get warm to the touch after a few hours.
Happiness is a warm gearshift knob.
