SSM AP2 (not sure of the year) with a bike rack lined up right behind my Sebring AP1 turning left from Eglinton (WB) to Brentcliffe last night around 10pm.
We're in the same building, but I was halfway down the parking ramp when I heard you honk!
Hope you saw the thumb-up I gave you at the light!

If I could do it again, I'd go convertible first, then BRZ (I miss driving mine in the winter - my S2000 hibernates).
Of course, the BRZ taught me things about car control and RWD driving that probably keep me safer in the S2000 as well...

I did it backwards (and probably wrong): I had a white BRZ for the first 3 years I was married, and got the S2000 after I had my first child - as a consequence, it's more of a chore to arrange things so that my wife and I can take a nice top-down cruise (don't get me wrong hough, we enjoy every moment of it).

The BRZ was the first car I took on the track and with the amount that the TCS kicked in, I definitely would have spun an AP1.

Engine and transmission-wise, there's no contest: the S2000 was built to a much higher price point, and it shows - the F20C is far superior to the FA20 in terms of sound, response (though the FA20 wasn't terrible outside of the torque dip), and character. I never found the FA20's power to be a problem, but I also never warmed up to its sound and relative reluctance to rev (I'm complaining about a 7,400rpm redline, so maybe that's just me).
Caveat: I didn't make any engine mods (no UEL headers, etc.) except for an Injen CAI (terrible for drivability at low speeds, with bogging and random stalling even while moving at low speeds) and Greddy axleback (waste of money), which did make it sound a bit better.
I find I'm too precious with the S2000 though - I'm reluctant to take it to the track, because mine is in great condition and stock (so I kinda don't want to mess it up). The BRZ was a willing dance partner on track or snowy parking lots.
When I tracked my BRZ (it was also my first/currently only car that I tracked), I spun out the first time I switched off TC/VSC, but that was after doing a bunch of laps with TC/VSC in sport mode - my next track day, I switched off TC/VSC right from the start, and had no problems. I think the problem is when you start off with the nannies and then suddenly switch them off mid-day. If you start without the nannies and build up your speed gradually, it seems a bit better.
