Really the 86 should take the S2000, especially the earlier 2 liter. The new 86 has 30 ft/lbs more torque, very close to the same weight, and better trans gearing. I know the S2k can rev to 8,500 which gives a few more mph between gears over the 86, but whatever. The driver must be that much heavier than the other, possibly even had a sack of cat litter and groceries in the trunk, who knows. But the twins seem to lose to EVERYTHING in the 1/4. It took me a lot of $$$ in parts and Ecu tuning plus the time just to get mine to where its "acceptable enough" to me. I'm sure any of you who have done what i have or even more feel the same, but i still love the car nonetheless. I know its not a drag car, but i always felt like a 3.0 liter V6 should have been the engine for this car.
