Default Factory Racer-Inspired S2000-CR Prototype



"03/13/2007 - TORRANCE, Calif. - A new club racer-inspired version of the Honda S2000 will take the legendary vehicle's track-worthy performance to an entirely new level when it makes its world debut at the New York International Auto Show on April 4, American Honda Motor Co., Inc., announced today. Engineered around the expectations and needs of Honda performance enthusiasts, the S2000 CR will be available as a new trim level when the aggressively-tuned vehicle goes on sale in the fall of 2007."

balls? you mean an S2K with bigger balls on the track or the street? My first instinct would guess that you mean the track, cause as long as Honda's come all motor from factory, the track is where they belong .

Yeah, I wouldn't expect to see engine changes. Probably better shocks, more aggresive swaybars, etc. Probably similar to stuff people modify.

What? you didnt think your S had balls from the factory?? what mods do you think would supply the car with the much needed balls you mention, cause the car doesnt change much with most mods IMO

For AGES i heard from LOTS of honda owners how HONDA didn't sell the NSX with a comptech SC as option or howcome S2000 also didn't come with FI since comptech and honda used the work together on racing ect etc etc, what i mean "balls" is that maybe -maybe- since the Rdx comes turbo maybe our cars also come with some kind of FI and that's what i call balls, our cars are fast but still not the fastest and you all know, if this new car is lighter, with a hardtop/FI/suspension, yeahhh that is BALLS or as some you may say BIGGER BALLS, but balls never the less.

, if the price goes up and it becomes a better N/A track monster, I rather buy a Lotus.

I would love to see it boosted

Even the Elise now is selling on US with FI, on the sport pack a elise does 4.7 0-60, of course the weight is so light 1985lbs (still 190 hp i believe on the 4.9 0-60 base elise) but still, those numbers on a factory special edition S2000 could be sweet ...
