Heart broken over what? Where exactly was the extra 30hp going to come from? Everyone knew that the CR wasn't getting a new engine and Honda can't SAFELY/Reliably get more power out out of the F22 so excuse me but this HP thing is just noise!

Honda has never participated in the HP wars. Honda usually has the lowest HP in whatever class their competing in.

I was never a Honda fan because of this. They've never been known for making high hp high tq cars. People keep talking about the Honda cars of the 90's but those weren't class leading hp cars either.

Please explain why people who love high hp buy Hondas then complain that they don't have enough hp

I mean didn't they know this before they bought the car

Your talking about hp and yet you want an NA2 NSX? All people do is complain about those cars not having enough HP

 

It is a small portion of people like me (like 90% maybe) that wouldn't mind to have a small FI unit that can run reliable (such RDX) from factory in our S2k's that could offer a extra not out of this world 30-40HP ... enough to make us keep up with Z4M's or Boxters S's... remember the name was "Club RACER" ... with such hype they announced it was coming "to a race track near you" .. to be in the end what we all know, CR's are great S2k's maybe the best ever offered .. but still, there are faster S2k's with almost NO mods that can go as fast as the "CR" , the CR should be called "S200 NE" .. "not expectations" .. get my point?

Not gonna lie to you i went still to Honda here in Pompano to check one .. it looks good (minus rear wing) but still it wasn't enough to convince me to trade mine (so rare this CR is that it was locked so you can't even seat unless you are serious about, while i can go to a porsche dealer and test drive one) ... that broke my heart ,,,, and yes the NSX guys are getting Audi R8's and went to P-cars or Gallardos since Acura/Honda never gave them what they were waiting for 15 years ... i would get a NSX b/c is my dream car, not b/c makes tons of power .. but that i am expecting since NSx's are gone ....

For the CR as a example .. It's like you own a home, then your parents come and say, hey Son, go away 1 month and we will make a super reform for you, then you come back next month and see a new door and new blinds .. that's all, while you were expecting a new kitchen new paint new AC and more improvements .. see my point?

You're welcome. Thanks for bringing back some good memories. Those most certainly were the days.

Remember that dope ass double half pipe with the skate through at the end of the film? I wanted to drop in on that thing so bad.

I'm going to have scour ebay now and see if I can't find me one of those banners. I'd love to have one.

 

Wow, thanks for contributing to this topic!

The CR bashing threads are elsewhere. Please don't get this one locked!

Your basing this solely on hp numbers which is kinda dumb as the S2K still outperforms the More powerful Audi TT , the Z4 , the Base Boxster and the Mitsu. Also it's still cheaper than the Z4 , Boxtser and Audi.

Even all these years later it's still less expensive even in CR form.

All this bickering about how the CR should have been more powerful/lighter is really pointless. It's already in production and Honda has a mind of its own so nothing is going to change

Personally, I don't buy cars based on how fast they go 0-60, 0-100, 1/4 mile etc. I buy cars for the DRIVING EXPERIENCE. Isn't that a refreshing thought?!??
