There should be a stickied, closed thread about why it's improper to compare the twins to an s2000. Even used market makes no sense as most twins you can buy still carry a factory warranty, and the car is newer.
The AP1s had a base MSRP of $32,300 (2001), or roughly $42,500 in 2013 money.
The '13 FR-S had an MSRP of $25,600...That's $16,900, or basically a brand new base corolla, in price difference.
Spare everyone that comparison. The S2000 was in a different price bracket from the get go. Less than 5 years from its demise Toyota/Subaru released a car that's damned close in real world performance, with a hardtop, for significantly less money.
