...Remember every modification to improve grip & cornering speed makes the car harder, not easier to drive. The more grip the quicker & more viscous the breakaway when it happens. I have set up a number of production cars for racing, & every improvement that made the car quicker also made it less forgiving.
The S2000 does not take fools gladly. It is a brilliant handling road car, but is far from forgiving when handled poorly. Learn it's idiosyncrasies first, then make it suit you better if needed. Remember the very best drivers are the ones who can exploit a cars idiosyncrasies, rather than suffer from them.

Mechanical over-revs typically happen playing Boy Racer and downshifting at speed from 5th or 6th to 4th and hitting 2d. 11,000 rpm ain't healthy for the engine. Or 4th to 5th playing drag racer and hitting 3d. But downshifting seems to be the most common point.
