My CR weighed 2689 prepped for A-Stock with a full tank (topped off) on the scales at Nationals.

With the fuel light on, it weighed 2620-2625 on my local balancing/alignment rack. I could save about 7 lbs by taking the hitch assembly off. I could save about 8lbs by modding the current exhaust. I could save 12lbs by switching to 245 A6s and 4lbs with lighter rear wheels. Some fluids can be drained, etc, etc. My goal for next year is to get into the 2500 range.

I've yet to see a confirmed A-Stock legal S2000 in the 2500s other than claims without proof or anything to back it up.

 

cr ftw

 

60 posts and 61 opinions....the very best year S2000 is the one you drive and like...so go drive a 03, 04, 05 , 07, 08, etc....or whatever year you wish and tell us!

I like what I have and think it better than the 01 and 03 I drove, not enough better than the older ones I drove to make a deal breaker, but I wanted the AP-2, just cause.


1. I could afford a new car.
2. The $5,000 premium everyone charged was going away and I did not have to pay it.
3. I wanted a car then, and the 2004 car was then.

I trusted Honda to do right by the car and they did, I like the changes the AP2 has in every day life. I would expect if I could have a tbw and some sort of traction control I would opt for it rather than being a more careful and eventually skilled drive in bad weather.\

You tell us?

 

I apologize if the comment was taken as an offense. That wasn't the intent. I was merely saying that I don't quibble over less than 100rpm when rounding the ranges...8125-8175 => 8200 and 9050-9100 => 9100.

I ran out and did some quick testing on 2 different AP1s that I was able to get my hands on quickly. Both with VAFCs installed (stock ECUs both) to record max rpm. See the max revs at fuel cut off below...

(apologies for the somewhat crappy iPhone pics)





Anyone with a VAFC can run their own tests.

Go to main menu -> Monitor -> 1 Channel -> REV -> Press UP to put into "Peak" mode.

One more pulled tonight.

 

What is your VAFC wired into to get the rpm readings?

 

The VAFC taps into the ECU wiring harness.

 

Right, sorry, which wire/sensor? Just trying to figure out the differences between our dataloggers and the VAFC.

 

All i can say is that with any S2000 that you may eventually buy, every single darn time you drive that machine it'll just put a big smile on your face. That's how great any S2000 is /End thread

 

Road & Track's CR, without A/C or radio, weighed 2790 lb., presumably without fuel (that's how they normally present curb weights). The hard top weighs, what, 45 lb.? Assuming they weighed it with the hardtop in place, it'd be 2745 lb. without.

Honda claims 2765 lb. for the CR, 99 lb. less than the standard model. Presumably that would also be with no fuel.

Edmunds gives the CR with no A/C or radio a weight of 2813 lb. (vs. 2855 with A/C and radio, vs. 2864 lb. for the standard model. They list the '00 model's weight at 2809 lb.

And yours doesn't weigh in the 2500's either.

Surely most of whatever you did to yours to get to 2689 with a full tank could also be applied to an early AP1 to achieve similar weight reduction.

My impression remains: The CR is no lighter-weight than an '00/01.
