Actually I think you could come close to (or beat possibly) a pro in a car you own and have hundreds of laps in with vs. him borrowing and having 5 laps in. Not talking most people, but you specifically.

Re. the S2000 vs. BRZ comparison on equal tires, it sounds like what you're saying is the S2000 has a large power advantage, and the BRZ chips away at that with aero and to a lesser degree cornering speed. The S2000 will still have the advantage on most tracks, but the difference isn't as large as the 40hp spread might lead you to believe.

Personally, I would have gone with a used S2000 for the engine, price & track-proven reliability, but what it came down to is I didn't want to daily drive a car with a roll bar, which I'd have needed to track the car. Some of the clubs I run with don't even allow convertibles, which is a big drawback for me.

Honda, why no S2000 coupe?
