Thanks for the link.

I like, "Honda says the aforementioned rear wing and lowered and bulging chin significantly reduce high-speed aerodynamic lift (by something like 70 percent). We say those pieces reduce the car's overall visual appeal by 79 percent. The roll bar cowlings (those humps behind the seats) look merely silly."

 

Awesome quote.

Funny how S2000 owners are all pretty much into bashing this car that is roughly 95% the exact same as the ones we love so much

 

Firmer suspension would be nice.

 

i am with you, nope of us drove the CR and somehow most of the people on the

forum think it's more worthless than a piece of used napkin.

 

"The biggest changes are to the front and rear double-wishbone suspensions. The CR's spring rates are up 38 percent up front and 17 percent out back, compared to the standard '08 S2000 (which in turn has a slightly stiffer suspension overall than the previous year's car). Honda seriously tamps down body motions by increasing the monotube shocks' damping rates by 50 percent front and 32 percent rear compared, again, to the standard '08 S2000. The CR's tubular antiroll bars are of a larger diameter front and rear, although the wall thickness of the front bar is 19 percent thinner. The rear suspension benefits from a structural brace mounted where the soft top would stow on a standard car."

 

i don t think that people hate the CR, but rather it was such a disappointment in terms of advancement above the base model. i was hoping for a type r super s2k sendoff, but u know how that goes...

 

"Take into account the heavier-than-stock components the CR adds, such as the rear wing, body strengthening and wider rear tires and Honda says the CR weighs 2,765 pounds

 

Please keep CR stuff to the CR thread in the stickies section.
