The S2000 costs $32,000 if you're dumb enough to pay MSRP.
The Corvette costs $51,000.

Where did you pull this from? The corvette driver must have had a few hundred pounds of lead bricks laying around. Standard corvettes do 0-60 in 4.8 or so. And if you opt for the Z06 option instead of a convertible (same price), you get 0-60 in around 4.2. A corvette will also pull hard throughout its rev band, whereas an S2k has no torque under 6000 rpm, and requires constant shifting. The people I've known who've driven the S2k say that this gets annoying very quickly.
I respect the Honda, but it does not compare in any way to corvette. I know they handle very well, but I wouldn't say that it would "beat the hell out of" a vette in the corners. A corvette will beat an S2k on any course except possibly a very low speed autox. The vette clearly has a lot more power though, so its hard to compare "handling" directly.
