Troll away physics-teacher!! Using your logic, the best car would be the one that sells the most. Using one model year sales figures would put the Ford Fairmont in contention for the title of "world's best car". S2000 was produced for a long time. At the time, it had the best hp per liter of displacement of any naturally aspirated car, even beating Ferrari at the time. Today they are still competitive in road racing, even though they are grouped against larger displacement vehicles. Miatas generally compete against Miatas, not S2000s. S2000s still dominate in most autocross type events. The Miata is a great sports car, but it was designed for the masses. The S2000 was designed for enthusiasts!

If the S200 was such hot stuff, why is it the Miata is unquestionably the world's best selling sports car, in continuous production for decades, while the S2000 is just a memory? Kinda like the Vincent; if it was the world's greatest bike, why did its contemporary Harley outlast it? You can't just say people don't appreciate true greatness. Look at the Miata, or say, the Corvette, also in production continuously for decades.
