Are you sure you weren't going uphill? With a headwind?
Honest, I suspect that your car is running exactly as it should.

If you're really concered about the power output, get together several other stock S2000 owners for a dyno day. Carefully control intake and coolant temps, tire pressures and alignment, and test everybody's cars.
