So, wasn't it the Miami S2000 guys who gave their suggestions for the CR? Good going guys
You're welcome.

I guess they didn't listen to our suggestions and feedback. What a huge disappointment.

I would expect a club racer to sit closer to the pavement while still having the travel in the suspension as a normal height S. It is a function over form, but the Form does not have to look this hideous.

I think a they should keep this as a concept car and just sell the parts separately so that the people who does race have the option of using factory suspension parts...but thats just me
The other 3 colors are just regular S2K colors from what I read, only the blue is special.. it's special all right. :thumbdown:

The suspension might just be high because the spacers may not have been removed. I obviously can't say for sure, but it's possible since they exist for shipping the car in the first place.

Unfortunately, selling the parts seperately is not helpful to anyone that races, they aren't factory parts specific to the model car we have, they are optional factory parts, which would bump the car into a different class I believe.

Why isn't the S2000 CR on the Honda Japan website? Wouldn't they know about it also? If someone can read Japanese or I overlooked it, please find it for me.

If it was Japanese designed (lead) it would not be introduced by AHM execs at the show.

The fact they raised the Tyre size topic is another spot light.

The 'father' specifically chose the smaller tyre sizes because it reduces unsprung weight.

That has been Honda's traditional thinking and i bet you it still applies to all their cars.

<my rant below>

Who cares if the tyre size matches the NSX-R... Is it as LIGHT as the original or AP2 rims?
We all know the AP2 version 1 rims measured lighter than originals but you can't let go
of the fact that the originals were designed WITH the car. Heck even I had to buy a pair
of originals (when i was thinking about track time + winter).

The only reason why AP2 tyre sizes are different were to mitigate some snap oversteer among the other
changes that had gone through.
