Chassis stiffness

Anyone have any useful information to contribute to this topic?

22k Nm/degree seems high for a rag top, even one that feels as stiff as the S.

No.

I can only find 'relative' comparisons by Honda;

It's stiffer than an NSX-T which is as stiff in beam as an Accord with cloth seats, etc...

And much stiffer than a (dis)integra, which is ironic.

I can only find third hand (ie completely unreliable) reports that the S2000 has 22000 NM/degree torsional rigidity. Be interesting to find some actual data on this.
