EDIT: Whats with the Cruise control?

EDIT: I gotta admit I'm interested in the brace and shift lever.
Instrument panel looks good, radio door and stitching looks garish... cruise changes entirely unnecessary and makes it look stupid.

vishnus11 - They add downforce at the cost of being hideous and adding weight. They added one bracing piece, big deal. Bigger footwear? These are the same size rims that are on an AP2. Why is it that so many aftermarket companies can make 18 inch wheels lighter than the stock ones, but Honda can't. Plus the 90 pounds is without the hard top. I have a time slip to back up my cardomain numbers. I've seen an AP1 with an intake run a 13.8. You're telling me a 13.6 isn't possible with a custom exhaust and better tires? I most recently beat an STi 2 days ago on 270. We slowed to a 20 roll and raced to 120. The first time he got a car length jump on me, but I stayed right with him. The second time, we were dead even until the end of 3rd gear, when I pulled 3/4 of a length on him. Next time it's nice outside we'll do it again and I'll video tape it. The M3's I've beaten have been older models. You can trust Uehera over me, but look at the posts before mine. You act like I'm the only one who doesn't like it. If you like this car or think it's any kind of real improvement, you are in the vast minority. Everybody on here knows it's a half-hearted attempt to boost the S2ks image and sales.

To be fair, calling anything "rice" could also be construed as being racist, but no one complains about that. Just food for thought.

Everyone needs to gtfo with the "that's racist" comments. Nobody has said anything racist in a derogatory way. I thought the joke was funny.

On a side note, I think Carlos Mencia is an untalented assclown. I have never once even smirked at one of his jokes. His show sucks and it isn't funny. The only people that I've met that like it are jocks and hicks. How's THAT for profiling?

vishnu - back to p.41 - Not crazy - would rather pay 50-60 for a real street legal and track ready car, than 37-42 for a club ricer!

But I think that's the problem, they didn't REALLY do anything, they just bolted stuff on after removing stuff that most people would order with the car. If you get AC and Radio you are losing the ST and Spare tire, that's it, and that's assuming you are leaving the HT in the paddock. The only structural piece that's been written about is a bolt in rear strut tower bar. So just add the CR bits to your S and you'll be done.

Yes you won't have the aero, and while the aero is function over form, it's unlikely to make much of the lap time difference compared to the other stuff.
