Unlike the s2k , without a clutch dump you'd be struggling to break traction by 7k in the wet, absolutely MISERABLE. But hey if revving around at 9k makes you feel like the king of vtec then good for you. Personally if i'm revving that high i'd need to be in at least a sub 12 second car.

S2000 can be in 4th or 5th(maybe that's pushing it) doing 60 in the city. You seem to think that the s2000 needs to be in vtec all the time. Most of us don't drive like that (except Larry Chu). One of the nice things about the S2000 is that its like a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. You can cruise around below 6000rpms where it will make about the same power as your Scion and get pretty good gas mileage. If you want to have some fun go above 6k rpms and feel the rush with it still being legal. How much of the corvette's power can you actually use on the street? Its good to actually be able to open up the s2000 somewhat without being scared of legal consequences.
And what's all this talk about hills?!?!??
