Just a lot of bolt-ons that are very well sorted out and balanced.
Up to him if he wants to post any more...

The trade off will be worth it for me because I like having a real roof and room for tires in the back that much; if a back seat and fixed roof is not a big deal then the pros of the frs over the s2k are slim. Although, as someone mentioned, the frs will prob be easier to control at the limit because of the front biased weight distribution (53/48). S2k's 50/50 might be better for lap times but it also adds to that snap happy feeling in the corners.

Weight distribution is mostly a marketing gimmick.
The s2k in stock form is 50/50, or 49/51, but every one modified for the track is heavier in the front.
Porsche/Lotus are all rear biased, and you don't see their handling compromised much

I check this website a lot when comparing cars. It to me offers a better estimate of a cars overall performance. It lists the S2000 along with almost all of the cars that a car guy would consider. I feel that the FRS/FT86/BRZ will probably fall into the same area as the as the S2000.
I am pretty sure most of the Internet surfing car guys are already familiar with this website. But, for new guys ENJOY!

Take magazine reviews with a grain of salt. I know more drivers than I can count that are faster than these "pros" in the same car.
