Here are my impressions from my 10 minute drive.
steering: rock solid. move it 1mm in either direction and the car goes.
handling: whew! We were on a road that has a sweeping neg camber turn. My cars limit is 60mph and the tires are screaming. I took it at 60 in the S2000 and it felt like 30.
clutch: engages very quickly.
Stalled it the 1st time b/c I didn't give it enough gas.
torque: none! It's not my car so I couldn't drop the clutch at 7k rmps.
when i hit 6k rpms the hotter cam profile kicked in and away we went!. actually pushed my head back a bit. I think I startled him because I took it up to 8900 rpms! screeeaammming!!

I'd still love to drive one of those things. They rent for about $250/day at my local Thrifty car rental. Maybe one of these days I'll splurge for it.

I went and looked at a couple the other night.
Considering it as a second car...
$450 is the lease price for 36mo/12k though... kinda steep for a $32k car.
But thats from eHonda.com... maybe the dealer can lease cheaper...
I would do it for $350/mo

Tel, I could drive that car everyday. The torque isn't that bad. I had an 80s 5 speed accord that didn't have much torque so maybe that's why i feel that way.
Gold, do it but make sure there are enough twisties to justify it.

He gave me a ride later today and we were taking the turns at double the posted limit. 
I also raced him to 60 and he had me by ~1/2 a car length.

good evening, this is the bro of superdds and let me be the first to say, that the reason he got the Cl-S is because...he is older than dirt! I'm only kidding, but let me tell you that an S2000 is not a daily driver. If it weren't for the fact that I had another car, I would not have gotten the S. That thing is stiff as a bitch and just as loud.
And yes, I did drive <65 all the way home from Oregon. And no, I varied the speed and made frequent stops.
I must leave now for my "S" beckons me.

That's got to be one of the hardest cars to follow the "break-in rules". There's no way I could drive it that easily for 500 miles or so.

Comptech didn't post a dyno but you figure ~290+ hp at the wheels and it's ~200 lbs lighter than an NSX.
My guess would be (good driver) low 4s 0-60 and maybe high 11s to low 12s in the 1320.
