Agreed on most everything you said, would like to clarify that the s2000 requires some finesse, you just cant be "instant race driver". If you're keeping it up in the revs while cornering it is easy to release too much throttle and have that oh shit recovery moment. Learning to be comfortable in the corners at high rpm and modulate the throttle like a boss is a skill.

You will be severely punished for poor form when driving an s2000.. as you should be. I really like the no consequences nature of the 86, the biggest drawback is it's biggest asset (200hp) and the ability to recover from a mistake is stupid easy since everything can be done at the limit.

I think we are basically saying the same thing in different ways, I just like to type... these two cars get me excited
