Pretty much right on target. The S2000 has really quick steering - but it really doesn't really have great "feel" A minor quibble, to be sure.
the pre 04s have better "feel." the 04 and 05s have different power steering setup, so it doesnt have as good of a feel as pre 04s. i think....

great article it describes the car perfectly

I thought it was right on the money - except "numb" is a relative term -- I believe Car and Driver used the same expression this past summer in a comparo with the Elise. I shook my head then and I did again reading this -- numb I don't get.

That last paragraph can only make all of us smile knowingly -- this is our Ferrari -- an Enzo, of course!

I think he's was fairly accurate. I'm always conservative when I enter a turn because I've never aquired the feel. One unexpected fish tail was all I needed to check my ego at the door.

One strange comment was the hitting the gas harder to get the car to move? I can take my foot off my clutch slowly and not use any gas and my car will get moveing. I equate our first gear to a semi-granny gear that actually works to get this car moveing because of the high rpms?
