In a nut shell...

* SAE net rev. 8/04 update: 2.2-liter VTEC 4-cylinder engine (237 horsepower @ 7800 rpm and 162 lb-ft. of torque at 6800 rpm)
The new blue, not sure if coming to Canada...

Wow, and here this is the detail

Torrance, Calif. 11/21/2005
S2000 6-Speed Manual
$34,050

If memory serves me the MSRP for my 2002 was $32,300, so here that is a very small increase considering the 4 year difference... Sounds like you guys are getting screwed.

DBW was put in place because of the VSA (Stability Assistance). I personally dont like the DBW as throttle responce is not as quick as a direct cable. I noticed this while driving the new Si. I hope programming is better on the S2k.
