I don't know. I saw it up close and in person in the dealer's showroom. It looks pretty good except for the silly rear deck spoiler.

That said...I'd gladly give it a go on an autocross course if someone tosses me the keys!
Those big Brembo's are not really that big. They'll fit on an S2000 with some mods. Stay tuned from one of our sponsors.

Matt, did you ever take a look/test drive of the Type R. I saw it in person in the dealer's showroom and really liked it except for the rear spoiler. Everything I've read about has been positive. Did you see it?
