We also know the Federal Elise would whip the bejesus out of the S2K in ANY performance test.

You have under-estimated how fast S2Ks are.

The Elise is slow compared to a track prepared S2K.

Would this be like anyone else we've come to know and despise?

Well.. take a Z06, put heavy duty T1 suspension on it, road race tires and then take a prepped S2K against it.. guaranteed with equal drivers, the Z06 will take the S2000.. (reason I said Z06, because you said Corvette and the Z06 IS a Corvette)

I agree wholeheartedly. Yet here's a good video of an instructor in a T1-winning Z06 chasing an S2000 with nothing but a front swaybar and a wing around Laguna Seca. If nothing else, it shows that besting the S2000 in a Z06 is no walk in the park...

I have owned a Boxster S and currently an S2000. The Boxster's handling is as good as the Honda's (maybe better) but although it's 0-60 times are about the same, the Honda feels faster and is more fun to drive. The Boxster did have a higher top speed but it was way too expensive for what you get. I mean $55k and a cruise control is an option???
