I disagree it gets less gas mileage than a c5 vette and you've got no torque to boot. I think that may have to do with having the top down, however you'll be dealing with more noise on the highway than the corvette chugging along at 2krpm will. Of course the s2k will feel cramped to anyone over 150lbs where as the vette will have alot more room.
I guess it depends on what your idea of "fun" is being a wet city that rains most of the time, it's alot more fun to have torque down low than having to use vtec for passing or going up say the cut or mountain highway.

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?!?!??
