Here just for you.

It's my first S2000 so my opinion is that it has supercar handling but pickup like my Corolla XRS. Well maybe faster but it seems that way after driving my Porsche Turbo.

Steering feels more numb than my Evo MR and Evo 8 but less body roll. Just as stiff as my evo 8. I guess the steering feels like a STi but car moves a little more sharp at turn in. Shifter is the shortest I've ever shifted and decent. My favorite shifter is still the old hurst on my old 5.0! Spring loaded never missed a gear!

Seats are harder than the evo's and very sticky.

Can't really try it since it is too cold for tires and no Auto X or track. So not much comment except needs more sholder on the left side and hard to get in and out with top on.

Oh yeah, almost forgot. Mine has no A/C nor radio and I don't think it is prewired. The rear quarter has no antenna holes and radio din does not open! I wanted no a/c with radio so i'm out of luck i guess.

Does the quicker steering ratio help the steering feel? because they increased it from non-CR S2Ks.

I like quick steering. It gives it a sporty feel. If i had a quick steering on the Corolla i'm sure it will not work since the car cannot react fast enought for the steering. The evo tend to plow so the quick steering is safe and will not cause over steer. The steering for the CR seems fine and properly tuned for the car. If it was faster it may be a handfull to drive. Dont' get me wrong the steering is very sharp but it is a tad slower than the evo but it doen't mean the S2000cr cannot out turn it, it just means less arm work during auto xing .

the looks are growing on me. i'm still not a fan of the wing, but if it serves its purpose its ok with me. oh and i totally agree with your statement about the hurst shifter on the 5.0, LOL. short shifters for the t5's are so nice, you could bang the shifter up and down and never missed third, haha.
