The ECS is more of a street tire for the average person, but puts down great wet times and isn't too far behind a lot of the top tier 200TWs for autocross (as an example). With the Force being about the same behind in pace, I don't know why anyone would go with the Force.

My vote is the ECS.

The ECForce will hold up to heat much better. The ECS is essentially a street tire that can handle some tracking, and the ECForce is a track tire that can handle some street driving. The Force will also be faster, by how much, I haven't seen any definitive tests comparing them to the ECS, but they're a little faster than the RS4 in GRMs testing. I've been running with them on the Miata for the last year, and am totally happy with them.
