Kev | Lease is up on my MS3, so I'm going to say goodbye towards the end of the year. I've seen a posting up on S2Ki for someone who went from MS3 to S2K and loved it....so I think we would too.

I prefer a cable throttle but wouldn't mind the dbw. VSA would also be nice, I just have to be more careful without it.
Today was a great day to go top down. Too bad I'm stuck indoors.

It is, in many ways, the polar opposite of an MS3. I've had the good fortune of co-driving a 2004 AP2 for a couple autocross seasons and it's a terrific car. I was considering an S2000 at one point too but logistics and economics would be unrealistic as I consider my MS3 a keeper. I'm sure it is a capable daily driver taking into account the points everyone has already mentioned. Oh, the stock radio is dinky but there's an aftermarket for it and you can always just listen to the VTEC soundtrack. 
Hope everything works out for you!

^ If you're going to honda way let me know. I can hook you up with the sales manager there. They sponsored our poker run in a big way last year and I helped him out with the S2000 summer meet they put on.

Buy a corvette instead. It's like an s2k that didn't have its balls chopped off. Oh and plenty of trunk space for dead hookers or whatever it is that you need trunk space for.

The lag in the DBW is hardly noticeable. Nothing compared to the R18/FG2. FPro is also very nice for DBW owners. Pros/cons i guess.

It's not just the DBW alone of the AP2 that causes the numbness, its the engine, the sway bars, the springs and struts etc. Honda softened up the car because it was too "twitchy" for loser american nascar fans that are terrified of right hand turns. And who cares about stability management...?
On the subject of the corvette, I like vettes, but its a shame the interior feels like it was deisgned by a 5 year old and built out of his play-doh. Doesn't matter how fast your vette is, you still look like a doucebag driving one. To me, a vette is for people that don't have the money or class to buy an "actual" sueprcar, yes the performance of a Z06 is great, but the styling, the fit/finish, and the lack of any form of exclusivity would prevent me from buying one.
Now I'm not saying an s2k is superior to a vette, but the interior of a car is very important to me, and the ergonomics and comfort of the s2k IMO is far superior to that of the vette which costs nearly twice as much.
