Don't hold be liable for ANYTHING.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The car is already here in the US before NEW YORK in Torrance for a few weeks now. Currently here is what I understand:
Honda has focused on the Weight to Power ratio:
1. Deletion of the SoftTop
2. Hardtop instead of softtop.
3. Hardtop can be taken off.
4. 3 different colors are offered. (Never seen before in the US)
5. Seat are cloth, with yellow stitches
6. Revised wheels
7. Tuned suspensions to OUTPERFORM AP1, AP2 in laptimes
8. Odometer cluster will be revised
9. Centerconsole is revised
10. Shortshifter is included (I can't confirm this)
11. Bodykit* (All they told me, is that the Aerodynamics of the new model will produce MUCH more downforce on the car) Don't think of Body kit, as like a "body" kit like J's, ING or anything crazy like that.
12. Car will be lighter
13. The frame will be stronger* (I don't know what they mean yet)
BC outlook:
Only 2000 CR will be made, of the 2000 CR, only 200 will be fully STRIPPED. The 200 STRIPPED will be a collectors item. (This # is subject to change, but that's todays info)
Based on what we know from Shawn Church and TOV, and my personal S2000's, the AP2 is stronger than the Ap1. (I'm not going to justify myself to anyone, and if anyone can't accept this then let it be. I owned an 00, 01, 04 and the dyno proves it all)
With the WEIGHT reduction, we know that this car will be more responsive, and gain some power as Honda focuses on Power to Weight ratio. In addition to the revised suspension, we all know that the ECU is reflashable w/ Toda.
Ap2+ Lighter car, + hondata reflash + toda headers...
= One Fast Track Car.
I'm going to be out for the majority of the day, until night. Please DO NOT PM ME.
One more thing, I'm working on the 1st OFFICIAL HONDA SPONSORED S2000 HOME COMING MEET with Honda to be held in CALIFORNIA, to be sch. in Sept of this year. If you are interested, please form a list. Copy and Paste Please. We will expect over 200-300 S2000 at this event, with our very own MEDICALSTUDENT
Honda has FINALLY given us a chance like the NSX.
1. BC +1
2. MedicalStudent +1

Also would like to add that (from TOV guys) the AP2 suspension was designed for the original Type-R when it was in the works.
They'll be taking lots pics.

screw the Mugen top, I hope the CR has the Mugen Multivision Meter
If it does, that would explain why Mugen/MTEC was extremely upset when I got a hold of this unit
