The S2000 mechanically is sound, and more impressive that the BRZ

Well double wishbone suspensions turn into a sloppy mess after 75k miles or less on rough roads, and replacing all the bushings is a much tougher job than changing DI seals. Most of the S2ks I test drove before settling on the FRS had dry-rotted or worn out suspension bushings. As much as I love a new doublewishbone suspension, I hate it after a few years on the backroads in my area. Probably too early to say the S2k is more mechanically sound.

With the FRZ you can go grocery shopping (like paying taxes we all have to do it), while the S2k you just can't.

Heavy Foot really says the BRZ needs an extra 30 hp and I agree that along with fixing the torque dip would be a huge improvement.

People are reaching 230 bhp with just a tune, UEL header, and overpipe on the BRZ. And they are also eliminating the torque dip. With more and smoother low end torque the BRZ could be a better performer than the S2k for the street. I really wonder how this review would have gone with a tuned headered BRZ.
