The CTR straight up beat the s2k around road course. Best motoring, not sure which volume.


I realize best motoring isn't the end all be all, but it is close enough to the S2K that it will be a driver's race. I think some people around here either underestimate the CTR or just plain don't know sh'it about it, but talk as if they did. Whoever said the CTR is heavier than the S2K would fall into the latter category. The CTR is listed at a very conservative 2,644lbs. The S2000 is listed at 2,809lbs. Both figures from Honda. People need to read up before they go off about something.

The CTR is very easy to drive fast around corners compared to the S. The pattern of most encounters I've seen is the CTR getting away from the S in the bends but getting whomped on the straights!

Honda claim a 0-60 time of 6.4 secs for the CTR. Autocar magazine have just done a long term review of their CTR, now showing 20K miles and recorded 6.2 secs 0-60. When they first got the car new they were getting 6.7 secs.

I'm willing to bet it'll be priced about the same as an RSX Type S. Less luxury, more performance, same engine.

Makes sense to me.
