Do you really want to nuke my brand new S2000 CR?? I really like my car and why should I continue to post here with BS comments like that?? I have never posted derogatory comments about anyone elses choices on this forum. If you can't say something nice, why don't you just follow my philosphy and keep your mouth shut. I get the same crap about my Civic Mugen SI. I like both of these cars. I don't have the time or the inclination to modify a stock car, Honda did a fantastic job of engineering these cars, they did essentially what I would have done, and when it breaks, I can take it back and get it fixed under warranty at no expense to me. They will probably return more of their original value when I get tired of them than a modified car using third party parts that don't have the engineering budgets or resources Honda has. Rant off.
IGNORE THE HATERS....THAT CAR IS SMOKIN' HOT!

Not being able to drop the top (or raise it) at will is also a bit of a bummer. Performance-wise, it's a great car. GPW looks nice.
If you can't accept the big wing then this car is not for you. This car is sort of like a porsche GT3, functional bodykit... I believe people who buy the CR should track it and use it to the fullest of their ability.

Luv the CR and luv your color choice. (Actually, all the colors are growing on me.)

Should we assume that you paid sticker price plus tax and license?

Just asking in order to be in a knowledgeable position when I go in to buy one in '08.

Thanks.

Let's just say I got the CR + the stand + the top cover for about the same as the MSRP on a standard S2k (with no hardtop or accessories)

the car sat on the dealers showroom floor for 2 days. I went and saw it the day it was delivered and had them put the sold sign on it 2 days later.

they kept it black hardtop because all s2000 soft tops are black as well. the feel of s2k is still there.

Thanks for the compliments guys. Sorry if I am over sensitive about criticism, but it just gets old.

It is my understanding that Honda did a great deal of wind tunnel and track testing to develop the aerodynamics of this car. The wing is more aggressive than I would prefer for a street car, as I tend to be pretty conservative, however, the silly looking stuff works!! I can't wait to get it out to Gingerman track next spring and play with it. I think it will really shine on a nice twisty track or in Solo II. Spring can't come fast enough. I think my 993 has longer legs, but the S2000 CR will smack it on a tight track. Time will tell??

Apexracer, you're braver than I am!! I haven't driven an S2000 in the snow, but I can only imagine that it would be a skate. Be careful!!
