Buy a second body. That'll get you a whole extra, complete buffer.
The D7000's issues with write-to-card performance are right out there in plain sight. All the serious reveiws of the D7000 mention its buffer limitations. The D7000 is a high-level CONSUMER body.
If you need a camera with a deep,deep buffer, then you need a professional camera. Or a semi-pro body. Or a second, consumer-level body.

I've lost the link but there was a pro who did link up 3 DSLRs to do a time-laps shot of a baseballer/cricketer (I think it was baseball but not 100% sure) taking a swing. Fairly complex setup with 3DSLRs each set to start shooting their series a few milliseconds after the other - so that they captured the whole motion between them in a burst of shots.
Of course today with video mode that would be a simpler approach for many.

In not too many years the features and ISO performance of today's top performing cameras will be on the low end cams. The D2 compared to todays D7000 (considering age difference) tells a story.

That is not likely.
The camera's buffer write speed is usually the limiting factor, not the card speed. Card speed is more critical for uploading to your computer, than for use in the camera.
Most cameras cannot write any faster than what a class 6 SD card can handle, so spending extra for a class 10 card trying for faster in the camera write speeds would be a waste of money.

Well not in all fairness, if the card is a128 meg card manufactured 10 years ago or longer then it might be the limiting factor. If not you are dead right.
I still have yet to nail down what is 'fast'. When I upgraded from a D60 to the D7000, I went from 2g unclassed cards to 16g class 6. The new cards totally sucked compared to my 6-y.o. unclassified cards. I only use them (the new 'high-$ cards') for transferring files between computers now. I have also been hoarding 16g Class 10 cards now, since they clear the buffer the fastest so far.
It,s not just thenclass of cards but the hardware contained within. Good resource on card read and read.write speeds.
