They must not be going very fast or exploring that elevated redline zone regularly.

Lets throw some 205/225's on 16's on the brz, and do a similarly abusive launch, and see what happens
Alternatively, throw some 17's with a modern compound on the s2000, and watch the times skyrocket.
S2000 launching falls into a unique territory requiring some wheelspin that actually results in faster acceleration than hooking up and bogging, with no clutch slip involved.
Of course, if/when the factory diff fails from this type of drag racing, the S2000 will have effectively zero acceleration

It very much does so. It's precisely how amusement park rides as well as multi axis driving simulars simulate acceleration, braking, turning, and drops!
