You know were they can run the s2000 and they don't is in SPEED World Challenge http://www.world-challenge.com/. When they came down to Sebrings to run during AMLS series in March I spoke to one of the Honda/Acura team techs as to why they didn't use an s2000. He said it was because they fall apart and it was more expensive to maintain. Instead they are running a rsx and a tsx in the touring class. ANd honestly if you look at the 2005 point standings they don't need to run an s2000.
The only reliability problem associated with an S2000 is its powerplant. The TSX/RSX motor is much stronger and more reliable but the chassis on those cars pales in comparison to the AP1/2.

Actually, the reason they don't run an S2000 in Touring is because they can't.

I don't think the S2000 is classified as a 'touring' car.
As a matter of fact, and correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think any convertible is classified as a touring car.
right?

And here is what it says.
Grand Touring (GT): Includes a variety of production displacements with no maximum. Forced induction is permitted and is used to equalize individual models. Sedans, coupes, convertibles and two-seat models are permitted. The cars can be rear-wheel, or all-wheel drive. Class horsepower range is 425-550 bhp.
