Both comparisons made were daft.

Just because a car has a fixed roof, that doesn't mean it is more track oriented. Those unfamiliar with the chassis design of the S2000 should do a little searching. The X-bone frame of the S2000 was well-designed and provided the roadster with more torsional rigidity than most hardtop sports cars. Also, S2000 does not = F1 racecar because it is a convertible. Just think, the convertible Chrysler Sebring and convertible Toyota Solara are even less sporty than a Toyota Sienna SE (aka swagger wagon).

The S2000 is an amazing sports car with fun and responsive as top priority. The FT86 is suppose to have the same goals in mind, which is why I'm interested. If there were to ever be a turbocharged FT86 model, I think I'd switch over without a doubt.
