So what is so special about the Honda cylinder walls as opposed to Porsche, Corevtte, MINI, or many other cars that come with synthetic from the factory?

The reasoning is the S2000 comes with Fiber Reinforced Metallic cylinder walls. I have no idea if the porsche or mini or whatever come with those type of cylinder walls. But I'm willing to bet they probably don't have a number of things the S2000 does. (skirtless pistons, 9000rpm redline, etc)
