In general, timing chain is a better implementation than timing belt. The advantage of the latter is reduced cost of manufacture, and perhaps a slight noise reduction. Somehow, I would imagine that the extreme high rpm capability of the S2000 makes a belt less desirable (reliable??) than a chain. Note also that the fairly inexpensive Honda Fit also uses a timing chain, perhaps necessitated by its 7500 rpm 1.5 liter VTEC engine.

It never needs to be replaced. Unless of course something happens but I don't recall seeing one fail without something else going wrong first.
