Yeah, the reason is called economics, supply and demand. 86 is current production and produced sold at a higher rate than the S2000 ever knew. Performance has very little to do w/ that. The 86 has sold almost 30,000 units it's first year which is almost half what the S2000 did in 10 years.
Of course, you've compared the S2K w/ a wing to the 86 w/ aero right? The Griffon seems to respond well to aero on the stock motor. I'm not sure how valuable comparing a stock car to one with aero add-ons is.

38k in 2009 dollars is nowhere near 40k in 1999/2000 dollars.
The Griffon GT86 can be replicated... for about 120k + a car. Apples to oranges. I'm talking a S2k with a $800 bolt-on wing, and nothing more.
