A few polite words whilst I browse

This is immaterial as last time I checked the M25 is a car park not a race track.

Eh? You've lost me, Simon. The body is no different, stiffness wise, is it? Do you mean the ARBs are stiffer? Honda have certainly tweaked spring rates and ARB stiffness over the years to dial out some of the early model waywardness

The body is much stiffer on an MY04+ which also helps. Try to find the best example you can whatever the age is really the best advice.
The bumpers and lights on the MY04+ are horrid (in my opinion )

"Honda's racing experience is also evident in the S2000's responsive handling. The chassis has an ideal 50/50 weight distribution, and the body and frame are a hybrid monocoque-frame structure that forms a highly rigid platform for the S2000's in-wheel double wishbone suspension system,and plays an important role in helping the S2000 achieve its high level of safety protection. Body rigidity has been increased for 2004 by strengthening key points on the body and chassis. The power steering system is a highly responsive, electrically assisted type, which has been retuned for 2004 to provide enhanced feedback to the driver."

LG your link was talking about the famed AP2 so unsure it's entirely valid...
It's a bit spurious anyway but could relate to different suspension components based on Paul's further detail. Still not clear, the marketing dept seem to be talking about something they don't understand
Larger displacement 2.2-liter engine (+0.2 liters) produces 240 horsepower @ 7800 rpm (+0 @ -500) and 162 lb.-ft. of torque @ 6500 (+8 @ -1000)
