Dennis,
 
FWIW, the following admittedly are paper abstract specs, but looking at them, I'd suspect your 08 shold be fine with some tire and chassis break-in.
 
According to:
http://www.s2000enthusiast.com/sec-models/my-2008 s2000/index.htm,
 
The 08 vs 07 chassis specs changed like this:
 
Front springs stiffer by 7%
Rear springs stiffer by 9%
Front damping rate >10%
Rear damping rate > 5%
Front stabilizer > to 27.2 x t5.3 from 26.5 x t4.5
Rear Stabilizer unchanged at 25.4 x t4.5
 
The 08 is 9 lbs. heavier, likely due to slight changes in seats (increase in seat back height)

Yes, according to the specs. The seat of the pants experience can't be much different from previous models from what Dennis has said. The goal appears to have been increased stabilty at speed.

(im)patiently waiting for september in hopes that they bring back some sort of lease program because i need something in the next few months so if things don't change for this car lease wise i'll be forced to get something else. anyone that has any info or advanced info please keep us updated. i wish i was in a position to get this car in june when the rate was dirt cheap. ugh.

not sure someone else can hopefully answer that. i don't even know if the lease programs are gonna be there in sept, that is my main concern. however, even with 680, if they bring the programs back you should be ok

Hi waynetek. Honda is not currently providing any lease support on the 2008 S2000. Through September 2nd, consumers who want to lease this car through Honda Finance will have to use its standard lease money factor. It is currently .00270 for consumers who qualify for its "Super Preferred" credit tier and pay a security deposit at lease signing. The last time that I checked, consumers needed a credit score of 710+ to qualify for the Super Preferred tier. A score of 680 would fall in Honda Finance's "Preferred" tier, which would have higher money factors.
