Don't some of you guys THINK Toyota would've purchased some S2000's for testing and bench marking prior to the revival of the 86? If I'm not mistaken, Toyobaru were aiming WAY higher going for Porsche Cayman level. Keep saying all you will about inferior suspension but the 86 has what works in design combination for a $25k car.
The rear suspension of the FRS is not even really a double wishbone. It's like a single wishbone / multi-link design with good geometry. The front macs have good geometry for simple struts too. It all works greatly in its full design. They did say they were going to revive the ae86, right? Well this is it. $25k brand new fresh off the lot. Take it or leave it. For those interested, FRS suspension look: http://www.edmunds.com/car-reviews/t...alkaround.html http://www.motoiq.com/MagazineArticl...cion-FR-S.aspx It's funny how some people come here to prove how their older s2000, mustang, corvette, porsche or whatever, is against the NEW 86 In that price segment BRAND NEW, what the hell else are you gonna buy? Genesis coupe? [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=57TtqhKOaTU"]The D Factor with Dai Yoshihara - YouTube[/ame] For one, if I wanted a USED performance two-seater, it will never be an S2000. Bang for the buck, it'd be the c6 vette. Hard to beat in that particular used sports car segment. I still love the s2000 though. Is that what you wanted to hear?

Mike, you won't get through to this guy. I know him well from the MR2 forums. He has some kind of a complex and always has to have the last say, even if his logic is a bit daft. Perhaps his wife never lets him have it his way so he acts out on the internet.

I think the video is great and I'd rather drive an FR-S or an S2000 over a Corvette anyway.... I don't like potatoes coming out of my exhaust.

Ok girls, I think we've beaten this s2000 vs. frs vs. vette vs. anything else debate to death. Can we move onto the real debate; who is the cutest 1 Direction member?

Vid is interesting as entertainment but that S2K is far from being driven well enough to make any remotely worthwhile comparisons.
Vettes - in a whole other league if they're well driven and have some basic track prep.

I think the S2000 brakes and turns in (compared to a stock BRZ) better stock for stock. To me the transmissions are equally good. And of course it has a more powerful engine and wider tires. So yeah, as far as numbers go the Honda is better. At the end of the day though, the new 86 ends up being a more fun car. There's no snap oversteer like the S2k (which I got to experience lol); so you can slide around without much fear of hitting a tree.
