Once you're above 25 mph it makes no difference. And around a race track you'll never go below that speed and thus the S2000's engine will never be below 5000 rpm the entire time. You'll note in previous post I specifically mentioned "on a race track". I notice you brought the M Roadster into play due to their identical hp figures, but failed to mention it's considerably higher cost and inferior handling.
