2008 S2000 CR....HUMMMM?!?!?!

[MistaCee]

I think part of the reason the car is worth so much is simply because it is so limited. It would be like a collectors model that can gain value instead of losing it.

the seats looks comfy

lol all the arguing and the last comment is that the seats look comfy!! nice



haha I love my S, but I don't track it. there's no point really. Its an awesome handling car, its quick, but it is still a Honda with no torque. I bought mine for looks and to have a fun ride, not for tracking. The new CR is a little quicker than mine, but only because it weighs a little less and is more aerodynamic.

I know nothing about racing, but I know that although my car is quick, the STi, EVO, and a lot of other cars should easily beat it. trying to compare a 240hp/165tq 2900 pound car to a 300hp/300tq 3000 pound car is retarded. 200 pounds isn't going to make so much of a difference really.

I'd like to sit here and say HONDA FTMFW, but I know that isn't going to happen unless the S was turbo. If you were to race the CR vs. most n/a 4cyl, the CR would definitely have more of a chance. But comparing a n/a convertible with a turbo awd STi just doesn't really make sense.

Looking at the price, the Honda is more expensive than the other ones. Is anyone surprised? Plus like someone else said, its like a $3,000 premium to get the CR over a base S2K. How much is the Nismo over the base 350? I'm sure this will definitely be a good selling car, just because it is a Honda and people know the reliability. It may not be THE quickest car for the price, but it will be a fun ride!

^ Well said. It may not be fast, but it sure as hell will sell.

Well said. Also, the fact that you don't track you S is not a rarity, with any car. This is why I never understood the people who brag about which car is faster on the Nurburgring or Tsukuba etc... The fact is, only a small percentage of people who buy those cars actually track them. TRACK TIMES ONLY MEAN SOMETHING WHEN YOU ACTUALLY TRACK YOUR CAR! Something that people on IA don't seem to understand.

You get reps, sir.

lol.When this car is ready to sell it will be over 40K.
other better cars out there for that car.

But you know, some s2k drivers thing they have the ultimate machine "HIGH CLASS" verhicle... hahahahha

I mean you can pick up a S for 15 K now a days.. drop 10K into it and have a better track car then that and be way under budget... lol

I just thought about it... Why would honda add more horses to the new accord and not the S?

When are they planning on raising the ponnies on the S anyways?

I don't trust the rumor mills, but my instincts tell me that S2000 production will likely end with the 2008 or 2009 model. Probably with the '09, because Honda has always done S2000 changes every 2 years.
I agree though, the Accord does outpower the S2000 and that is silly.
