Honda builds a club racer.

CR stands for "club racer," conjuring up the good old days when guys drove their sports cars to the track, raced them, and then, if the racing gods were smiling, drove them home again. And that

 

Old news.....this article has already been discussed:

and the thread was closed

 

I disagree with the article. My CR is better and faster than my '05 AP2 in about every way. C&D wrote a hate article and it should be corrected.

 

mmmmkkk sorry for been such last week ...

 

any modded cr's yet?

 

Since everyone seems to love posting the C&D article like it's the only one I decided to post the R&T article where the CR went up against the Nismo 350Z

Honda S2000 CR

To some, this bright-blue 2008 Honda S2000 sports car may look like it has been the victim of an overzealous young import tuner who got his hands on his daddy's Visa card and went wild with a parts catalogue. But in actuality, it is a limited-edition, well-engineered, in-house creation from the Japanese manufacturer itself.

Dubbed the S2000 CR (for "Club Racer"), this new model is available in three additional colors

 

The rest

There have been numerous updates to the Z since its debut. And the Nismo Z is the culmination of those improvements. The VQ35HR is the newest iteration of Nissan's acclaimed V-6

 

Even though I don't own a CR myself, I think the magazine is just stupid.

There is no way the CR is slower. The dude is crazy comparing drag race results from different days. Besides, the aero kit can't possibly bring something like 0-60 times down. 1/4mile? maybe ...

 

maybe he was also like many of us:

Even me i was going to trade my sweet -looking like new- 02' 35K miles for the "NEW CR" with the hopes of 200l bs less and extra 30HP @ least ... what a joke .. i think that is what happened with Tony Swan ,, that BTW has more experience with S2k than many of us ... maybe he is tired of Honda ,,, when Porsche needs to catch up they throw 30-40HP ... HP war is almost over and HONDA NEVER JOINED ... personally i'll get my NA2 NSX in like 3 more years and i'm done with honda ,,, the only decent car from honda right now it's the MDX (decent on the sense that is up to the competition) all honda cars are great ... they just don't have no more that "soul" that many of us found once (i've owned 2 preludes 1 accord V6 myself) ... i think that Tony Swan was just trying to say how frustrated is to have expectations ...

I dont care what articles say. I decide for myself. The article is an opinion and we all know everyone has those. The Cr comes with what ALOT of s2K owners add to their own cars. Nice badass interior,hard top,suspension and big wing. Nothing wrong with it except no top
