S2K's have a lot of interior noise ( Stiff suspension and a convertible :run: )

When you say it doesn't feel better, did you mean more of a rough ride? Or it didn't handle as well? Because the S2K is more of a rougher ride than a prelude (stock for stock atleast) because it has stiffer suspension setup.
If you're talking about handling, then uhh... you didn't get the full extent of the handling capabilities of the S2K
