Default Civic Type R-R versus S2000
Are the CTR and S2000 engines one and the same thing? If so why hasn't Honda given the S2000 more power as well? I don't think they gave the S2000CR any more power did they? What's going on, have they forgotten the S completely??

Ahh right. Thanks for that, they could have said that in the article mind!

Wonder if the 'snorkel' on the roof means it can ford a river!

Haha it's not... my s was 5-10 mph faster on a recent private road when my speedo read 151 with a CTR dissappearing slowly in the mirror...

I get the feeling it was part customer request, part prototype. Could be wrong. And judging from the S2K CR, very wrong.
