I can't wait to see the CR first thing in the morning of Apr 6. I've got my ticket for the show already. Ooops, almost forgot---is it premature to sell some of my stocks? Anyhow, I'll sell MY06 if this CR drives better than the Z4 M. I test-drove it today and was quite impressed. I hope the CR doesn't disappoint.

Oh yeah, because cars are such a great investment? Please.

If you paid cash for this car, and then stored it without ever driving it, and kept it for 50 years, you would see it for more than you paid for it. However, you would sell it for FAR less than if you took the purchase price of the car, invested it, and left it alone for 50 years.

The collectable aspect is m00t. I have owned a "collectable" car and I didn't get much for the "collectable" aspect when I sold it.

I believe this car will sell for WAY over market value new, and will only sell for BARELY over market value used.

Don't buy it as a collectable.

This will make it worth it for me to be a true factory made Club Racer

-no radio
-no A/C
-no sound deadener
-lighter body panels
-better intake filter
-adjustable dampener
-stiffer springs
-lighter steering wheel
-less center console stuff
-Carbon Fiber center console, Techometer cover.
-lighter windshield
-lighter exhaust
-stiffer chasis/frame
-aluminum component suspension components
-better aerodynamic front bumper
-larger wing
-better factory equipped tire
-lighter wheels
-No HID
-Lighter seats, racing harness ready
-Rear Cross bar for the racing harness
-lighter door or different door panels inside (no speakers)
-No power windows or doors
-better flow exhaust manifold
-Comes with Hard-top
-Trunk is gutted out
-Battery is relocated to the trunk
-higher rollbar
-No power outlet
-no carpet!
-Lighter Aluminum hood


If anything short of that, it's just another Manufacture gimmick, just like Evo SE. If this CR model will be anything like EVO RS, I'll be pretty impressed.

oh another thing

Comptech is dead. Why would Honda SC a car, then they are turbo'ing the RDX?
