I think most of my feelings have been regurgitated by others that have had an S2000, but I'll still share my thoughts.
The S2000 just felt raw (particularly the AP1. I have owned both an AP1 and AP2) compared to the BRZ. How I personally describe it is that the S2000 felt like a traditional car, whereas the BRZ feels like a modern car that is computer/technology assisted. Nothing wrong with either one, but there's just a different feel.
I haven't pushed my BRZ with handling yet, but so far it actually feels pretty comparable to the S2000. I was running 255/40/17 on my S2000 and Hankook RS3 so the grip made handling excellent. I'm sure with a similar set up, the BRZ would handle just as well.
I'm also actually quite surprised by how fast the BRZ feels in comparison as well. Although the S2000 has higher numbers, I don't feel like the BRZ is slow in comparison at all. The 2017 changes may have a lot to do with that.
