I can't wait until my BRZ-L comes in. I want to drive the sucka NOW!
I have no doubt the NSX is a better driver's car than the S2000. I was actually referring to the BRZ vs the S2000.

Good point about CG and power-band, but the S2000 does have a higher power-to-weight ratio and accelerates noticeably faster on paper. I guess it just depends on what aspects of performance you think are "fun."

LOL at the LFA. Maybe the reviewer meant "best affordable sports car to come out of Japan since the NSX." But I do think the S2K and RX8 could probably give the BRZ a run for its money.
