If you do anything too much there will be a problem. Just look at the callouses on your hand.

Keep an eye on your inner CV joints and differential; these are the two common failure points in the S2000. If you stay with a stock motor on street tires you'll probably be okay.

It is definately not recommeded, but I have raced mine at least a few times a week for over a year now. No problems so far (Knock on Wood) You take your cars' life into your own hands if you do.

Maybe because they appreciate the car for what it is, a ROADSTER , not a dragster .
