Even in a straight line, a 6.7" longer wheelbase of the 86 seems more planted.

Inherently, the s2000 should have a superior suspension set up, honestly, I do feel that the 86's handling behavior more refined for the road and is very predictable for you to respond without unexpectedly snapping.
This guy gets it. The S2000 is a more dangerous weapon in the hands of a pro. Most of us are going to drive the 86 better, Unless you can handle crazy amounts of oversteer on the track because that's what the s2000 will give you when you push it.

I seriously think the 86 is better for 90% of people including myself, I can drive it like a pro without studying drift angle. I can correct the modest oversteer like its no big deal. The S2000 is not forgiving but I've seen some good drivers rip the track up... I myself can't do that and I would argue most people can't.
