I have a client that has one. I've seen it but I've never been in it.

Melting Slicks
i am 6'2'' and its nearly impossible to fit in. the digital guage cant keep up with braking and acceleration. the shifting is really easy. easier to drive than a corvette, but the vette handles much better if driven properly.

I was actually considering one around the same time that I was shopping for my C5. I have driven a few and was loaned one for a full weekend. I will try to sum it up as follows:
When driven normally, it drives like your standard Honda Civic making the standard Honda engine sound (sewing machine). When you rev the sh*t out of it, it wakes up and makes some decent horsepower with a F1-like sound. Torque is non existant, however. It is fun to drive but you have to like keeping the engine above 8000RPM. They are nice cars, with excellent handling but I am glad I picked the C5 instead. The two are completely different beasts. As far as bang for the buck goes, C5 all the way!

Terminal Vette Addict
theya re great for picking up 17 year old girls in the parking lot behind Office max on a thursday night Tuner crusie in :-)
But sertiously, they do have an ok steering feel to them, but very little pep / acceeleration on them stock. You need to after market turbo the crap out of them. Also the air box suffers and if you aftermarket the airbox, you often have to modify the engine hood and cut hole in it to allow for fresh air. MANY s2000 tuners have this mod in it.
And yes they discontinued them, so they are collector items now.
