IMHO, it's the engine is what makes the S2000 stand out above the 86, however they are quite similar in all other regards, espeically with the chassis. One nice thing is that the 86 can do is do lessons learned from the S2000 and implement modern technology/processes in building in, bringing development and manufacturing costs down a bit. --kC |

They are aimed at different demographics, but they are more similar than different once you get past the engine. We are lucky that someone finally came along and made a car that does a pretty good impersonation of an S2000 without trying to be a supercar. When I was shopping around for a new car, I tried to test drive an 8 year old S2000 and they wouldn't even let me in it without a $500 deposit. On the other hand, my Subaru dealer let me reserve a place in line for a BRZ without any deposit, then was in constant contact with me to let me know whenever they had to come check out, and eventually test drive one before it was even on sale.

Here's a crazy thought:
With the news of the FRS going to topless, what if Subaru and Toyota are going to each offer versions to help diversify their individual brands of these twin cars? Toyota going with a drop top as the second version. Subaru going with a higher performance second version. |

A lot of the little things likely had a noticeable effect too. Going with that digital instrument panel over an analog one likely cost a bit more, especially since it was only for the S2000 and wasn't produced in huge quantities.

Other than RWD and 2 doors, how is that. Coupe versus convertible, 4 seats versus 2, Both have Independent Suspensions, but are different designs. The BRZ is a larger car with a wheelbase of 101.2 as compared to the S 2000's 94.5. The S2000 came on really sticky tires for its day, the BRZ, not so much.

What I've heard is that they will be rebranding the Vortech SC kit. TRD USA doesn't make parts, they just rebrand other parts, charge a lot for it, and offer a warranty.

$10k for TRD monobloc BBK is dumbfounding.

But what kind of a warranty? It's been a while since I've followed up on that kind of stuff, but I remember a TRD supercharger only having a 12-month/12,000-mile warranty... if they installed it.

First hand experience: My gf's sister owns a 2008 wrx, she put a BOV on the car (did not modify boost at all). The car spun a bearing like they all did, they warrantied the engine like they had to, regardless of the mod, because it had no effect on things like the lubrication system or power levels. |

JUST some other company? Them's REAL race brakes, son. I actually picked up their stock wheel fitment street kit; aluminum pistons vs. stainless, painted vs. anodized, dust boots, no anti-knockback strings. I won't talk about the cost... |
