A couple of things to keep in mind--First, a RWD car like the S2000 doesn't have a direct mechanical connection between the drivetrain and the steering in the way an FF car does. An FF car has driveshafts and traction forces operating through the front wheels, so what you feel in the wheel is a mixture of steering and drivetrain. With the S2000, the two are separate. The traction forces don't go through the steered wheels in front so there is some isolation that keeps vibration away from the steering wheel.
The second thing is that the things done to improve steering feel and feedback--stiffer bushings and a more rigid EPS torsion bar/shaft--these things will transmit more vibration through the wheel. You're likely feeling the honest feedback of what's going on.
