I think everyone moving from the S2000 to the FT86/BRZ is NOT necessarily expecting a better car, just something newer to play with that will remind them of the S2000. I'm confident that this budget sports coupe will not rival the S2000 in terms of performance numbers (obviously, we're talking flagship vs entry sports car). However, it should be a fun car for ex-S2000 owners to try out.
I'm buying a BRZ because a half stripped s2000 with 6 point harnesses and stiff suspension is no longer an ideal daily driver. Plus, the BRZ should have lower limits (especially with stock tires) that can be more safely explored on the street. I don't expect it to be anywhere near my S2K Challenge Street Class car performance wise.
