Default What car handles most similarly to ours?

Just curious to which of the following cars handle (in turns and in drifts) most like the s2k-

AE86
S13
S14
MR2 Turbo

I've got no clue so thought I'd ask some of the older experienced folks.

The s2k kinna has a unique driving style. You will have to get to about a 60/40 weight distribution to get the s2000 to compare with any of those. If you lighten the rear of the car enough you can set it up to behave like a s13-s15..

It certainly isn't a Z4. I tested one a month ago and it was very different. It may have been just that I wasn't used to it but it seems to have far less oversteer (which I find is perfect in the S2k).

I've never driven a Seven but want to.. even more now.
