I'll start off first, with the S2000 CR ... click the link, and look to the bar up top lol


"Introducing the next lineup in the legacy lineage of the Honda S2000: the S2000 CR. The S2000 CR's goal is simple: maximize pure potential on a racetrack by substantially improving track times through enhanced chassis balance and feel. It's lighter: a sleek and aerodynamic aluminum hard top replaces the standard S2000 soft top. When removed, the CR is approximately 90 pounds lighter. Air conditioning and stereo become optional equipment. It's an aggressively track-tuned suspension: taut new chassis, quicker steering ratio, wider rear tire size and increased structural bracing give the S2000's already exceptionally rigid platform the added control any sport enthusiast would desire. It's an aggressive stance: the aerodynamic package is tuned to reduce lift at track speeds. Yet the S2000's heritage—uncompromising, racetrack-ready performance and its surprisingly compatible, everyday usability—remain constant. The 237-horsepower, 2.2-liter, 16-valve DOHC VTEC® 4-cylinder engine, the short-throw 6-speed manual transmission, the perfect 50/50 weight balance and the iconic tenacious handling all keep the S2000 CR the purest of true roadsters. The end result is pure adrenaline. The club racer-inspired 2008 Honda S2000 CR. Strap in come fall 2007 when the S2000 CR joins the sports car ranks as an entirely new S2000 trim level. And get racetrack ready."

The more I see the CR, the more I like it. As for the concept, its a concept, so it has to look bizarre. The only aspects of it I really like are the ones taken from the AP2

eh...the Mugen one does need a full windshield. I'm perplexed as to why there are no increases in performance (hp/tq wise)

The things I like about the CR:
-No softtop, when I buy my s2k I was considering removing it anyways and going w/a hard top
-better suspension and tires
-the tanau cover
Interior's alright red stitching would look much better and that blue is ugly like a wannabe m3 blue.
