You have discovered one of the weak points in the S2000, the clutch.
If you do not step off the clutch at 7k (plus or minus) or if you step off at low rpm's the clutch will spin and you will literally stink up the joint. (Bet you smelled it burning)
Lots of threads here on clutches and what to do...do search and have fun.
Good Luck,
