This might sound like a stupid question, but what color does the CR come in?
Is there a white?

No, that's the actual s/n, 800..0022. I have never seen such a unique s/n on a car before. I thought that was pretty cool. No big deal, just cool to me. Did I mention how much I like this car??

CR v. Nismo article conclusion:
"The advantage of light weight clearly goes to the Honda and it shows in the braking and mid-corner speed advantage. They stop about equally quick, but the more stiffly sprung Honda is less pitch-sensitive, so it can brake later and deeper into a corner without upsetting the car's balance. Both cars have mild understeer at the limit, but while the CR's is always manageable, the Z can sometimes get into a terminal push when over-driven. With the gumball tires, power-on oversteer is difficult to achieve in the Z and nearly impossible in the CR. On this tight course the cars are near equals, but on a fast track the Z is sure to out-perform. It's more fun to drive the Honda, but the Nissan is quicker. Life is full of difficult decisions, but I'd opt for the a/c, stereo and extra power that come standard with the Z."

There's just a blank cover in the soft top activitation button hole. Spoken like a true engineer huh?? I got to drive the car some more today and I really like this car. I am a big guy and this baby is a PIA to get into and out of on a routine basis. But once you're there, it's all love!!

Not to always be the negative one, but I remember a time with the S2000 actually BEAT it's competitors. Now we're satisifed with a tie.
