I think the RF will end up winning the head to head. The brake advantage alone (not sure why they didn't get the BRZ with the PP) will play a part.
Also, there's still a torque dip and not really any more power compared to the previous gen FRS. Those were two complaints they had in the last head 2 head against the mx5. The mx5 RF will is a bit heavier, so I imagine some of their performance measurements will be a bit closer, but I still think the MX5 will take the overall win.
The 86 has been improved, but only in really small ways in various areas. It's nothing dramatic compared to the zenki model. Now, if the 86 ran an even shorter final drive and had absolutely no torque dip and an 8k redline (and had the brembos) I think it'd have the upper hand in the comparison.
We'll see though.
