I bought my wife a C5 with the idea also (lol) that I would enjoy driving the Vette as well. Like you I felt the S was a bit underpowered for me and what I wanted out of a sports car. I figured the power of the Chevy would make me happier.
What happened is exactly the opposite! Sure the Vette is more powerful with gobs of torque but where you gonna use it? Plus despite only weighing 3-400 pounds more than the S, it feels like a lumber wagon compared to the Honda.
Bottom line is it made me appreciate the Honda so much more. Our cars are simply so amazing! I feel that with time and driving them so often, we lose sight of just what a tremendous sports car it is.
I would suggest renting or borrowing what you consider a faster more powerful car for a few days before giving up your S and making what could be a terrible mistake. It may be that you won't crave more power enough to make up for the loss of your Honda. I know it opened my eyes to just how awesome the S is.

So, why don't the car in the picture, the car on your registration and the car you are listing match?
So what is a man's car? What is a fast car? Do you need your car to dictate your sexuality and sexual preference? I always thought that if your nuts dropped and you get hard off of boobs that made you a straight male. But I guess driving an S2000 overrides that, so if I preferred the penis but drove a "man's car" then I guess I'm straight? I'm confused, please enlighten me.
But again, why did you buy the car to begin with?

I guess if all you care about is straightline 0-60, the S2000 might not be the "fastest" car out there. But it is by no means slow, especially for the price point. You have to work a little harder to get it going, but the S2000's strength comes in its balanced nature and wonderfully direct handling.
If you don't think the S is fast, then dump it and get something that is, no need to whine about it
