I know F20C/F22C are engines codes.

If there was a thread with further clarification, or if someone knows if european vin's specify AP1 or AP2, I would be very grateful for this information.

Back on topic: The car is hardly the ultimate edition...but I guess it is still better than the RJ edition which was an even bigger joke.
The AP1/AP2 designation seems to have been used inconsistently from one market to the next. In the USDM it designates cars with the F22C and the chassis and driveline upgrades. Outside the USDM and JDM it's pretty confusing.

Good way to mark the "END." Thank you Honda for making a great car. You have allowed us the opportunity to form an awesome community and great friendships along the way!

Wonder if they'll do anything for the "Americans."

it also has the older gauge layout. dont the 08-09 have the same layout as the CR?

also it seems to have some crap infront of the headlights and what seems to be the orig all red leather seats but with the updated late ap2 head rests.


im thinking this is what the car should ahve been...9K, ap2 suspension (less bumpsteer) CR know/matts all red seats...its a conglomerate of all the good stuff
no the 08 09 layout are the same as 07-04 The CR one is Only for the CR

Yep, the GPW is the only thing they needed to make it ultimate

Not very likely to come to the states. They would basically contradict themselves if the F20c is in the "Ultimate" S2000 and not the F22c. That would nullify the big engine change in 04.

Nice to see Honda taking a page out of Microsoft's marketing, go Vista Ultimate lol

Nonetheless, it's one sexy s2000. I'd hit it.

this proves that the F20 is better since it is used in the Ultimate S2000.....Honda has finally ended the looong argument on this site as to which is better. Thank you Honda for putting an end to this .
