so I spoke with someone here at American Honda Motor Corp. he told me...
"i cant tell you too much, but it will be a hardtop/coupe, lightened, more aggressive suspension and it most likely will not have a/c (still deciding)."

i said, "thats all the info you can give me?"

he said "the guesses at Temple of Vtec are really close"

not much info, but at least we know its a hardtop/coupe.

 

How about something to improve steering feel since S2000 has almost none. Retune the ESP or just can it all together and go non-assisted steering.

Oh alright might as well do this....

wishlist.

coupe-looking like the aprils fool's joke 06 on the home page.


lighter -like 2500lbs.

lower, stiffer suspension.

cloth seats.

at least 260 hp. 2.2l w/ 9k redline.

lower final drive.


factory turbo, and sequential transmission - but I know this won't happen....I can dream though.

 

I feel a "owned badge by honda." will it stack up to a ap1 + kw v3 + comptech sc + seats + ricks gear set?

 

Are you kidding? Almost no steering feel? Either you're numb, or you've never driven any other car before.

I've autocrossed many different cars, and the S2000 has a lot of feel/feedback. That was one of the top reasons I bought it.

Any more, or an increased steering ratio would make this car a real handful on the track. I would be surprised if they increased the steering ratio. Good tires and a tuned suspension is all this car needs. If we could fit really fat tires under the car, it would be a lot faster.

 

^^the car doesn't have that much steering feel... to me anyway

 

Hey guys,

I wanted to include my predictions for the S2000 CR. My thinking is that since Honda is building a "Club Racer" and not a "Type R" that the engine displacement will remain the same. I think its more likely that we're going to see a stripped/tuned version of the current car. Anyway here are my guesses:

- 250-260 HP from current motor
- Removal of Sound Deadening
- Manual Soft Top
- Radio Delete
- AC Delete Option
- Lower Gearing
- Lightweight Wheels
- Stickier Tires
- Larger Brakes
- Stiffer Bushings, Springs & Dampers
- Lower Ride Height
- Retuned sway bars

Let me know what you think.

The S has good steering feel, but not as good as a Miata or BMW e30/e36 M3.

 

May not stack up to a regular modded S2200, but will the modded regular S2200 stack up to the CR in resale (think collectibility)?
