My whole point is that there's no reason to compare the straight line performance of the SRT-4 to the S2000 because the SRT-4 is obviously quicker.
Hell the only time you make an objective comparison to another car is when you race it in some fashion be that down a drag strip, abandoned highway, autocross course in a parking lot, superspeedway or what have you.
How do I say this in the simplest terms possible without making a comparison? Basically the S2000 is a car you have to actually have driven to understand. And if you worry about things like how fast it's going to be in comparison to an SRT-4 then you wouldn't buy it.
I love the SRT-4. I love the S2000. But they are two completely different cars in almost every aspect so it's really not worth the ependiture of mental energy to place them in opposition.
