indeed....it is
a few things that caught my eyes
More info
Engine
* A higher compression ratio and improved breathing efficiency help the naturally-aspirated K20A 2.0-liter i-VTEC engine output a maximum of 165kW (225PS) at 8,000 rpm and a maximum torque of 215Nm (21.9kgm) at 6,100 rpm
* The highly rigid Civic body and its advanced layout serves as the basis for an even more highly rigid, yet lightweight Type R body. Measures to enhance body rigidity while reducing weight have translated into a body that is 50% more rigid than in the Integra Type R production model sold between 2001 and 2006.
* Specially tuned suspension, high performance 18-inch tires, a torque-sensitive helical limited slip differential, large disc brakes for improved fade resistance and other performance-enhancing features contribute to higher cornering performance and stability for an exciting, racecar-like driving experience.
* The specially tuned suspension boasts revised spring and damping rates, and thicker stabilizer bars for improved vehicle stability.
* 225/40R18-sized high-performance Bridgestone Potenza RE070 tires.
* 17-inch disk brake with Brembo 4-pot aluminum front calipers.
* Specially-tuned ABS/EBD system.
* Special lightweight 18-inch aluminum wheels are matched to black wheel nuts.

wow. lapping a full SECOND faster than the s2k and two seconds faster than the DC5R.
the new CTR gets 4 piston brembos and the s2k still has the same single pistons calipers it had on it in '99? i just dont get why honda refuses to do anything with the s2k?
