Anyone have an image of the exterior temperature gauge?
It's pictured in the instrument cluster in the 06 booklet on the page labeled connect (left-side to front view of cockpit). Note the red led that reads 70 F to the left of the odometer reading.

Clarification: Ap1 engine (F20c) was always more powerful than Ap2 (F22c)!




Haha, just kidding.

Ugh im saying, when the F22 came out they still rated it at 240 which most dynos showed it to be close too. But with the new SAE ratings in HP aot of cars went down ALOT from what they had on 2005 models, if this makes 237 under the new rating what would it have made on the old one?
But some manufacturers saw HP numbers increase under the new system, so your theory is immediately flawed. What it says to me is that the s2000 is actually very acurately rated. Only a three horsepower fluctuation when others are seeing double digits in either direction.

Please add BRAKE ASSIST to the list of new things for FY06.

The new rating is done with the accessories at load. I suspect, Honda knew this in MY2004 and just under-rated the 2004 so as not to go down by much in 2006. That said, the S2000 loses less under the new rating compared to some other Hondas because it has a smaller AC compressor, has an EPS and smaller alternator than most other Hondas to draw on the engine under load.

i bet honda sees a sudden rush in sales for the 05 model now the info has officially been released.

If I were waiting for the 06, id be out there getting an 05 before they are all snapped up!
