How so? Grip is a function of the size of the contact patch, the coefficient of friction, and weight.
With a 60/40 weight distribution on a 3200 pound car, the weight resting on the Accord's front wheels alone is about 2/3 the weight of an entire S2000. Add to that the fact that the Accord rests on 225 rubber vs an AP2's 215, and physics say you've got the recipe for more grip given the same tire compound.

my bad i meant electrically assisted steering vs the hydraulic variable gear in the accord's steering... was not trying to imply that the s2000 was not rack and pinion, just that it is electrically boosted
yeah on hind sight for over $30k there are better performance cars new sti sedan, 370z, mustang gt...
...still i prefer the accord, i must be getting old
