As I posted previously, if it really is meant to be for the track, it needs a real bar or cage, and 5-6pt harnesses with appropriate seats, extinguisher, etc. Otherwise it is not a track-ready car, just another street car needing mods. The hardtop is not going to be sufficiently strong to help you in a rollover, even though it might pass some inspections. So even with the hardtop you need a real bar in this car.

If it were really a track-oriented and ready car, I would buy it and drive it on the track. If it'll take a chunk of $$ to get it to VIR and make it safe, need to rip up the interior and put in a bar, etc, then not worth the $.

We'll see.

LOL..if BC is correct then the CR is nothing to write home about, really.

No appreciable power increase = snooooooze

There are plenty of S2000's on this board that will outperform BC's said CR for a lot less money than what Honda and the dealer rip-off artists are gonna charge for it.

Lets see....CR will probably be 37-9k plus the dealer markups.....you are looking at probably 45k. Laughable.

That's a pretty good knock-off. Who makes that; Alex, Rota?

I dunno, a bunch of no-names like M-TEC and somebody called ASM

Well it's hard to say but this is even worse than what I expected from Honda.
