..., this is voodoo and I have immense difficulty finding torsional rigidity numbers I can believe in.
Fortunately, it doesn't matter. A car's performance is far more than just its chassis rigidity. Chassis rigidity gives the suspension engineers more freedom and flexibility, but is not an end in itself.

What matters is how a car actually handles, and whether or not chassis flex is an issue.
In an otherwise stock S2000 it is NOT an issue, and unless and until you identify a handling problem that can be traced to chassis flex the actual numbers are moot.
No useful information to be found here; Just bragging rights for those who need such things.
