(and that's just two of the metrics)
Every time you think your FT-86 sucks because it is not an S2000, you can cheer yourself by thinking about the extra $10k you have in your bank account.
The bottom line is: The S2000 was a blast to drive. If the FT-86 is a blast to drive, I'm good with that.

I know comparing a used car to a new car is apples to oranges, but....
I bought my S2000 when it was one year old, with only 4800 miles on the odometer, for $21,300. And given how far vehicle performance has progressed in the last 10 years (WRX, Mustang, MS3, etc) I don't think it's unreasonable to desire it's performance to be on par with the S2000 (a sports car designed in the 90s). Though without a forced induction power option (or a curb weight under 2500 lbs) I don't see how it can match the S2000.
Also, the S2000 still IS a blast to drive
