The difference being that the S2000 is revving higher and making significantly more POWER.

I did say it would be close. And looking at the torque curves again, I think these two cars would be neck and neck.

It won't be close. On acceleration, the S2000 has a clear power/weight advantage. Stronger acceleration everywhere.
Handling, the AP1 S2000 is about the same weight but has better weight distribution and double-wishbones all around. The AP2 has a bit more wheel width and more tire as well (but a smidge heavier).
The FR-S/BRZ are going to be comparable to the RX-8 in terms of performance. Excellent company! But slower than the S2000...
