The power that the car makes or is capable of making is not the issue as much as it is the driver

There are many here with Super chargers and Turbo kits running a stock drive train with no issue. There are also many here that are bone stock and break axles, diffs, and transmissions.

I myself broke my Comptech diff at a drag strip on only my second pass. The Comptech strap was still in place but, the LSD was toast. My car has only I.H.E. and at the time an Exedy Hyper single 6 puck clutch.
A poor connection between the seat and steering wheel caused the diff to break. Oh, and the aggressive clutch did not help things either

You need to be smooth with the car, a good driver goes a long way in keeping things together. A very simple example of this is seen in a cheesy car movie staring Tom Cruise

When I think of S2000 life lessons I think of NASCAR and Tom Cruise too.

Good to know. I just want to calculate what I will need before I buy one. I'm trying to save up for everything I want to do to it, before I buy the s2000.
