So it's 90 lbs lighter with better aero? I'm sure this leads to slightly better lap times, but would be undetectable on the street. Seems like a bastardization of "R" to me. Should have been a "special edition" or type S or some crap.
It isn't a Type R, it's a CR (club racer I think). I'm not impressed. Ricey looking, no more power, and doesn't go to 9K? No thanks. Then again, the S2000 doesn't really need more power (maybe a bit more torque?); driven at the limit it's ridiculously perfect.
