At first I thought it was Photoshopped but nope, it's the real deal. http://www.honda.co.jp/INTEGRATYPE-R I think I like it - it does give a nice edge to an otherwise dreadfully boring looking car...

With 220hp, it'd only have to weigh 2574lbs to have the exact same hp/weight ratio as the S2000... Yikes! With equal acceleration and lighter weight, it'd imagine it to be faster than us... Dammit, where's the Stook Type-R?

I saw the new model for the integra at the Detroit Auto Show this year, and to be honest, I was not impressed with the styling. I really like the way the current integra looks. Much like the prelude, it shows a lot of class without having crazy curves jumping all over the place.

I think what I don't like about the new model is how far the back comes down from the top. The old integra's side profile looked more like a triangle where the new one's back comes down making it look like any ordinary car. Besides, we all know the S2000 is the most stylishly designed car ever produced anyway

The performance, however, is a different story. I would certainly love to drive it! I'd be curious to see how the final product can race up to the S2k.

If you are saying the acceleration is equal because of the same power to weight, then saying equal acceleration and lighter weight makes it quicker, then you taking the weight into account twice.
