The S2000 can be adjusted to -1.9 degrees front camber stock (IIRC that's what my friend's AP2 got). But the 86 can also get -1.9 degrees with camber bolts and offset top mounts, so that might have been the number you were thinking of. (Of course the 86 needs more front camber than the S2000, but that's a different story.)
Agree on your other points though. The ND2 Miata torque curve falls off starting around 4800 RPM. The FA20 holds steady until around 6700 RPM. There's no question the FA20 is much more of a top end motor.

It's interesting that you mention that. I switched to a 2017 OEM header (more EL design than 2013) and deleted the sound tube. You're right in that it sounds much smoother and less "agricultural" this way. It's actually one of my favorite non-ITB 4 cylinder engine sounds, especially from 5000-7600 RPM.
