Worth a look…

Never driven an s2000 but I agree with the nd2 thoughts. Better shifter, maybe steering. I found the nd2 suspension too soft in transitions.

Also the s2000 looks so cramped. He looked more comfortable even in the nd2.

I've tried to get into S2000's and ND Miatas lol, couldn't get my legs to fit at all. BRZ is my compromise, hell of a compromise if you ask me lol.

Yeah this comparison is neat, but if you’re anywhere near 6 feet tall with a short-ish inseam, you’re lucky enough the BRZ is as accommodating as it is, the other two stand no chance.

I have owned all 3 myself

The S2k felt like not much foot room. All 3 were fun to drive. Plus all 3 of them I built for street touring.

What made you switch to and from and go with the BRZ? What are your thoughts on track compared to the ND2? I'm coming from an ND2 as well and I would be lying if I said I didn't slightly regret selling it. But my GR86 has yet to come, so my mind will probably change!

Side questions if you have any thoughts: I wan't to compete in time trials somehow with the GR86, but it seems like everyones going forced induction. I think even WTAC Enthusiast Class (the newest, low tier group) allows FI... I'd like to avoid going FI but that must be the only way to be competitive.

I switch cars like crazy,.....I have owned 148 so far.

I only used them all for Autox, one of the clubs runs at Pocono. I haven't been able to try the new brz yet because I live in P.A. and no races right now. I have owned a 13 brz in 2012 and a frs a few years ago, both were really fun to drive just needed more power imho. The new one is a good bit stronger especially in the mid range.
