The S2000's redline is 8900rpm. Peak torque is something like 153lb/ft@7500rpm.

It has NOTHING below 6000rpms. I think it was M/T that launched it at 6000, shifted at 6000 and got a mid 11sec 0-60 out of it. You have to beat the holy hell out of it to get it to move. It is very much like a bike engine. The actual performance is very much like early 90's sportbikes.

As such, I expect engine life to follow suit. Sportbikes are good for about 30,000 miles before needing a rebuild, big time. The S2000 isn't quite that crazy, but I would be willing to bet it's falling off steep before 100k on the odometer.
