New 2004 S2000 info from Honda
We just received the 04 info for changes in regards to the entire Honda line-up.
I am quoting the release for the S2000.
Changes:
Gear Ratios for 1-4 have been lowered
5th gear almost same
6th gear is a little lower
New Gear Ratio: Low 15.517, 2nd 10.126, 3rd 7.335, 4th 5.750, 5th 4.526, 6th 3.551. This gearing change will increase torque results in better acceleration and better fuel economy.
Exterior Changes:
New Brake Pads, Re-Styled Headlamps, Rear Brake Rotor Size up, Re-shaped Front Bumper, New 17" wheels, Damper and Suspension SPG Refinement, Re-shaped Rear Bumper, Re-styled rear lamps, Drive Shaft Change, Propeller Shaft Change, dual Mass Fly wheel, Tail Pipes.
Interior Changes:
Deeper Sculpted Doors, New Gauge Cluster, Re-styled steering wheel, Reshaped Roll (Where the start button and radio controls are located), restyled aluminum finish (dash).
Color:
Drop Spa Yellow Add Rio Yellow. All Red Interior to Red/Black.
That is all we have for now. Our District Manager is coming in on the 11th to tell us more and I hope show us actual pictures.

[B]I don't doubt your info, but the gear ratio numbers sound rather odd, and don't seem to jive with the written info on the gearing changes.

It strikes me as weird that Honda would combine lower gear ratios with a torquier, lower-revving engine; my guess is that "lower" in this case means numerically lower (i.e. taller). Wait and see, I guess...
