dropping 220 pounds is impressive. The yellow with red/black interior is sharp too.

But that reduction is with no radio, no ac, and no spare. My spare weighs about 22 pounds, Radio equipment is about 5-10 and the AC is good for about 70 pounds. I would want the AC and audio, so lets say about 100 pound save for production. Lets just see what that 100 pounds is going to be valued at.

Hey Larry!

Whatcha been up to? You should plan on coming to the Max & Erma's gtg this coming Sunday.

As for the S2000 Type R, I love the idea of a more track-focused model, but why wait till 2008-9?

Weight reduction of 220 lbs is impressive for a car that weighs under 3000 lbs to begin with.

I'll take mine in white.

I'm in Scottsdale AZ at the moment for work. I'm staying in a hotel right by the TPC golf course. Seems like about half the parking lot is Buick courtesy vehicles. Lots of S2000s out, but they're all wussies driving with the top up.

That defeats the purpose. Like Gary said, this is a track whore more than a daily driver.
