You sir, are a wise man.
You can make an s2000 fast, but you have to realize what compromises come with that feat.
I have a friend who was looking for recommendations on a car and I suggested a used c5. He ended up buying a s2000 with a ultimate racing turbo kit, AEM standalone + other mods. Cost him about 60k cdn, which would have bought a MINT MINT c5 z06 and left about 15-20 k in mod money.
So what he got was a car that is about the same speed as a stock z06 (his car ran 12.6's @ 116, yet is is less reliable (it spends more time in the shop working on tuning issues than it does on the street), gets wwway worse fuel economy (something like mid teens mpg). Even he admits that he wish he gone with either a stock c5, 996 carrera or s4 instead of dealing with the hassles of a turbo system on high compression n/a motor.
