Even though the FR-S and BRZ are identical mechanically I just think a buyer would prefer the BRZ 10 years from now. I see my stock BRZ (2015 series.blue) maintaining a respectable value with no mods, no winter or rain driving, and not being raced. The reason why the S2000 held it's valuable is more because it's almost impossible to find one in decent shape, with low miles, that hasn't been heavily modded. The same will be the case for the BRZ. Only time will tell though.
I think the special edition FRSs will hold value pretty well, and the 86 probably won't be too much different from the BRZ.

There are plenty of used sporty cars that are hard to find stock, but they don't retain their value like the S2000. Clean examples of those cars are selling for up to 30k these days.

I doubt you will be able to say the same of a BRZ (excluding tS) 15 years from now. In my opinion it will probably be more akin to the Subaru 2.5RS or Nissan 350z.
