Before tracking my S2000, the only track experience I had was 1 day with my Integra GS-R. S2000 was the first RWD car I owned, and first I ever took to the track. I ran my S2000 at Roebling Road, Carolina Motorsports Park and Charlotte Motor Speedway on the Roval. Never once did I ever come close to spinning out. Car was stock other than Direzza Star Spec Z1s, Carbotech pads and an Invidia exhaust. Stock alignment. And I was always one of the faster drivers within my run group.

The S2000 handles better. To think otherwise is ridiculous.

I seriously think the 86 is better for 90% of people including myself, I can drive it like a pro without studying drift angle. I can correct the modest oversteer like its no big deal. The S2000 is not forgiving but I've seen some good drivers rip the track up... I myself can't do that and I would argue most people can't.
The S2000 gives you oversteer when you overdrive it. Just how the 86 does; the S2000 happens to be less forgiving.
