Anyone know if the new dash will be standard on the 2008 regular S2000 or is it only for the CR?
Anyone can remove the A/C and stereo in a few hours.

It would be really dumb to do this in Arizona though

Hmm. In order for the CR to be legal for SCCA stock classes w/o the radio and A/C, the lack thereof has to be a factory option. For example, the dealer installed OEM lip and spoiler are technically illegal if you want to run as a stock.

Lots of people spend more than $5,000 on their cars without shaving 2 seconds off a lap at Laguna Seca. The car is built for the track, and it has signficant gains there. Look at it for what it's supposed to be, not what you want it to be.

Honda could build a lot of things, including a super muscular S2000, that lays a 150 ft wheel when it accelerates. Some people here want that car. Never mind that it wouldn't be a S2000 anymore or that it would cost another $30k to build. Others people want a superhandling light weight car, and within the bounds of building a safe car that can be used on the street and track, the CR takes some positive steps in that direction. Could it be better, sure, but at what price?

With the same footprint as the NSX-R and ligher weight i'm sure the CR will be good. I believe Honda knows how to build cars.

Anyone knows if they change gearing on the CR?

Honda hasn't said anything about gearing changes. The drivetrain appears to the entirely unchanged.

Until we know how much the CR will cost, any more posts to this thread are a waste of bandwidth, including this one.

Please go troll somewhere else. This is not the worst thing Honda could've done and in fact they imporved on the S2000. If you are too blind or too stupid to see how they imporved the car then I feel bad for you.
An s2ki member trolling the forums?? That's a first!

Whether or not the CR is an improvement on the S2000 is purely subjective. Appearance wise, I don't believe it is. It still has the same power plant and generates the same numbers. It may be 2 seconds faster around the track then the base model, but let's face it, how many S2000 owners track their cars? And I'll wonder how many CR buyers will track them. Honda made a track-ready car even more track-ready. Great. Sorry if I don't get my jollies off on it like you do.
