Do a search on this topic, I think you find some quite informative information in regards to a Type R version. As for positive news or internal information, nothing of any sort. More of just speculation and a proposition. Hmm Sev, still awaiting to hear from you if you need help with the Honda translation issue.

Takashi, I appreciate the offer, however i haven't had much time lately and since everyone says that Honda monitors this board, I believe our 3500 Views could not have been missed by them.

If someone elese wants to take charge of the issue they are welcome.

I hope Honda makes the decision to bring an R model here, the market does exist and it will be one hell of a car.


Just the thought of driving a "no compromise" S2000 makes me so happppppppppppppppyyyyyyy. TYpE RRRRRRRR.

Just wondering, since we all have other priorities as well. No problem on that, I'm kinda busy on my hands as well. Hmm, it's 1:30am ... and I'm still not asleep, maybe I should logoff soon. It's morning in the States. Oh well, one side of the world rises and the other side falls.

a drag worthy differential alone would be worth the switch over.. i could deal w/ no A/C, cruise control, etc.

I'd rather have a V6 version of the stook under Acura name plate with all the luxury gadgets.
If it can also have the retractable hardtop to go with 260-300HP, I'd pay at least 40k for it.
