In my experience around here, the advanced groups are NOT filled with hopped-up Civics and, with a few exceptions, the only Miatas are Spec Miatas that many s2000s qualified to run in these groups have no problem getting around.
Many of the NorCal S2000s consider themselves competitive with the high HP cars on your list rather than the Spec Miatas, Spec E30s, and other lower HP cars that run advanced here. I'm not saying that S2000 is always the fastest but we're in the conversation.
IMO, you are not giving credit where it's due... and I can see why you would do that from a bench racer perspective.
