imo you fall under a very simple group of car enthusiasts - we like modding cars, we don't like repairing cars. new suspension = mod. new roof because huntsmen are climbing in through the old one = repairs.
your thinking is not newer, more comfortable and cheaper to run, your thinking is "it will be clean. any mods i do will make it better rather than simply bringing it up to my standard"
decide whether you want your track car or your clean car. financially the change is not worth it for a track car. arguably, it is for a clean car depending on your definition of clean (how much it will cost to clean up the s2k).
I think the fact that a decent 10 year old s2k costs as much as a fully optioned brand new 86 tells you a bit about the difference in quality. Plus it's a honda
guys, sprintex and jackson racing makes a bolt on supercharger kit for the 86's which give about 40% more power. Im looking into putting one on my jazz atm, but would love to throw one on an 86 for some fun!

why would you supercharge your jazz over your s2000?

if you want to keep it easy to road rego then would keep the s2k. will make more power then 86 without doing something engine wise.
if you get the FT86 everything you have done to your s2k is a waste, would have to redo them + the price of the car.
a good set of coils will help change the unpredictability of the s2k, adjusting its over-under steer balance.
the 86 makes easy driving by having a low center of weight and soft suspension makes it less likely to snap without warning, also it has less power so it break lose out of a corner as easy.
theres a video of a BRZ following a S2k and they show the difference, the BRZ has its strengths, in the tighter spots the s2k rotates better etc, and brz is easier to control with more aero.
one part where the S2000 becomes hard to control is probably due to lack of downforce and just having more power on the exit https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gaArJZOMCpI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T9_hZqvY5RM
