Default Alingment Woes

I posted this on the general forum, and maybe it should have been here. I am having a running battle with Honda America over a problem I seem to have with my S2000, which has been there since I got the car in 2002. I am hoping someone else here knows of any outstanding issues, or can suggest a way for me to get beyond this issue. Here is a brief description. The car is really badly out of balance, and each time I get it aligned at a dealership (twice now) the car drifts back out of alignment within 200 miles. Its a daily driver, never been hit, never been in an accident, or driven off a curb, etc. The drift out starts with right turns, and quickly progresses to left turns as well. It starts by the front dipping ito the corner, then just past the apex the rear assumes all the load of the car, and the front dodges further into the turn. IF you go past 25 in a normal right turn, the back will start to kick out, even with 255 tires in the back. If anyone has experienced this before, and can give me feedback on what to pass on to Honda America, please let me know. the car even drifts uncomfortably in a straight line, especially at speed, and feels very light in the front on the freeway.

Thanks for any input. I can post specs if anyone thinks it will help. I am past 5 visits to the dealers, so any input on the Lemon Law would be helpful as well. I dont know if there are limits you have to react within, but the car is a terrible waste the way it is.
