[dtmcnamara]

Yall seen it yet?

http://automobiles.honda.com/s2000/s2000-cr.aspx

no ac no radio but still $37K. Think it will do well?

[BKgen®]

i think it will do better in the right section.

[The Ninja]

Lol!!! Witty....

[Nemesis]

damn throw a letter R in anything Honda, toss a wing on it, and charge over 30k for it, yeah that equals the key to success.




LOL

ricer's philosophy:

if it's a honda, it's a f*cking racecar.

[bigdare23]

I think it has alot of potential! All honda did was take a stock sk2 reduced the weight, make it stiffer, upgrade the suspension, and it destroyed the original sk2 time on the test track. Basically, it's a street/racecar without power adders. Just imagine how quick it would be with some extra power.

[ZeD]

it's rice and overpriced. the Nismo Z is better in all categories.. even around the track.. and for the same price, it looks better, stops faster, goes faster, and comes standard with AC/Radio.

[SE-Rious1]

2 much $ for no options

[1000cckiller]

2 much $ for no options

HELL YEA

[bigdare23]

2 much $ for no options

If you want options get stock sk2. This car wasn't designed with that in mind.

[SloWRX]

fuk that

Waste of money, just like the mugen civic. And I believe that gay blue is the only color it will be offered in.

This man sees the light and he's a Honda owner as well. You sir are going to be repped

You obviously failed to see the yellow and black models in the pictures, huh?

I think it will do ok. It's still too underpowered IMO, unless the weight savings is substaintial. I can think of other cars I'd rather spend $36k on.

A well-built S2000 is hard to beat.

Yep, I think a "sportier edition" is a great idea. I just don't think adding a wing, different springs, and badges really qualifies as "sportier" If it had 75 more HP, (and kept AC over saving 35lbs), that would make it a lot better.

[JennB]

But S2K's are already over $30K new, not just this one. Civic's.... not even close.

And it is offered in other colors... blue, black, yellow and white. I've already seen a white one in person. It's pretty damn nice looking. I wasn't big on the tonneau cover/rollbar thingy but the front end and wing look awesome.

You can get it with AC and stereo as well. If you add the wing and front lip spoiler to a base S2K, the price is almost the same as the CR.

I'd have to drive it though. I love the way they look but I didn't buy one when I had a chance because the feel of the car wasn't exactly what I was looking for.

Mugen civics are selling in the $30K's. Crazy.

[josh green]

I think the car will do great for its intent. I would spend $37k if I wanted a car that I could take to a race track and drive the **** out of it then drive it home no problem and still have a warranty. The car is far from underpowered for a track, more power = more braking. You guys may not like all the body changes but they are all FUNCTIONAL, and thats not just at 100mph. I bet it posts up a lap time around tsukuba circuit in under 1:05 seconds, stock. Its lack of AC/radio is for people who will actually use the car for its intent. Its no different than trying to find that base model 240 or civic, for the weight savings and structural rigidity.

I will admit the Mugen Civic Si is a waste but the Mugen Civic RR is no joke. It ran 1:6.68 seconds around tsukuba circuit stock. Kinda wish they offered it here.

[JennB]

Mugen civics are selling in the $30K's. Crazy.

I know that... it's what I was saying. Base S2K's are alreay well over $30K so this isn't a huge premium to pay for a special edition. Base Civic's are waaaaaay under $30K so that is an insane amount to pay for one.

$2-3K over base vs. $10K over base. Ouch

[3.5altman]

for 37 grand it could at least have a radio.

[AV8ter]

I bet it would look sick in black.......

Kev

[SPOOLIN]

for 37 grand it could at least have a radio.

damn dude you dont get it, all of the stuff for that radio adds weight. This car does have all of the things track guys like. Its bad ass. I think its ugly as f u c k, not the car itself, just the "cr" body add ons...functional or not. Ive always loved S2000's. Lets not forget these cars have HARD TOPS STANDARD.

[Doppelgänger]

Typical ricer statement.


If you want a radio, buy a regular S2000....duuuuh. If you're concerned with having a near track ready car, and are going to be racing the car... why the fu@k would you want a radio? What, are you going to be blasting ghey ass Supaman songs while racing around a track?

The target market for this model is NOT the typical daily driving Honda thug.

[RUFFIAN]

Fucc HONDA. we arn't good enough to sell TYPE R stuff to, and the stuff we do get is OVER-HYPED and OVERPRICED.

[umairejaz]

^+1 to you.

[speedminded]

There's been a black one at the dealership on Cobb Parkway for at least 5 weeks now, for resale value i'm sure it may be worth it but i'd rather have the base model leaving plenty of cash leftover for the suspension and mods of your choice that are truely upgrades.

[Vteckidd]

A STI will run circles around that car on a track

[Vteckidd]

SPeedminded is right, your better off buying a base model and spending the extra money on upgrades better than what honda has to offer.

Honda has lost their mind

[speedminded]

A STI will run circles around that car on a track

exactly, i'd much rather have a used $15-20k S2k with $10k in mods than a $30-35k+ stock one...prolly still get a beating by an STI, lol.

[Vteckidd]

I mean really, who goes out an buys a $40,000 HONDA for a RACE CAR?

[Glides]

Real racers don't need radios. They live the sounds of the road man, the thrill of the wind brother.

lol, exactly...any idea how quick of a Honda I could build for $30k?!

[Vteckidd]

Thats the whole appeal of hondas, they are cheap and easy to MOD.

WHen you start offering $30,000 Civics and $40,000 S2000s, your OUT OF YOUR GOD D A M N MIND

Had a friend that picked one up a few weeks ago, 2007, 40 miles...$30k. Compared all the other cars in a similiar class i think it comes out on top: Honda reliability is the key He paid the additional money for the 100,000k mile warranty...from what i understood talking to the finance guy (for whatever that's worth) basically everything but tires, brake pads, and wiper blades are covered for 100,000 miles. Is it a good deal, ionno

If you got a good hookup Honda's are cheap...otherwise aftermarket parts are no cheaper than BMW's. From suspension to turbo kits it's the same price.

You still can't race it how it is. If you wanted to race it you would to still do a lot to it to ruin it as a good daily driver. I mean you could take it to drag race I guess, but if you wanted to compete in the Honda Challenge series you'd be better off getting a used one, and messing it up. You would cry if someone banged onto your 07 $40K S2K to pass you on the last lap. You'd be better off getting a used one for $17K, and spending $10K on that to race.

I'm sure he's talking about HPDE events and track days...honda challenge would require $1,000's in safety mods alone.

[OneSlow5pt0]

if ur pulling out stuff..........shouldnt it be cheaper?

[cdhtang]

I think it is not worth it, little too much for a no option honda. Also you do have the soft top anymore, is it suppose to be a convertible? Like other people say get a used if you wanna go to track and spend the money on modifying. For 37k, you can make the s2k into a really nice track car, either na, or force induction. Buy the cr aero if you want to, but there are many options in the aftermarket.

[man]

Typical ricer statement.

But not really, you would be surprised how little a stereo system can weigh these days. Like the website says, this car is "track inspired" not a track car. They do things like take out the radio for the illusion so you think you're buying a bare bones track car, when in fact all of the real heavy items are still left in the car (sound deadening, stock seats, etc.)

Not only that, but the site says that ac and radio are OPTIONAL.

That said this car won't sell, for $37K you can pick up a lightly used Lotus Elise if you want a track car. Not to mention the fact that the S2Ks warranty will undoubtedly become void the second it touches the tarmac at the track

[OneSlow5pt0]

how much do these things weigh............cause a stock full interior new MX-5 is round 2400 pounds
