I just picked up a 2001 Spa Yellow S for a great deal. The car has 29000 miles and the only issue is wind noise on the highway (comes in from the front area of the top). I've owned 2 other S2000's and never had this much noise. When I go to close the top I have to pull down on the outside of it to get the driver's side latch to engage. So...

I'm curious if the top is just not extending out far enough to achieve a good seal. I looked at it and you can see the area where the wind noise is being generated. Any insight into this would be appreciated.

 

You may need new latch strikers. The MY00-01 strikers were made of a soft metal that would make a knotch. There was a TSB to upgrade them, but at this age, you'll need to buy some new ones on your own. Examine them to see if you notice that they have a knotch made by the latch hook.
