well heres the problem, the S2000 has had the same body style since its inception and need a complete makeover if it wants to sell! Its way behind everything else right now,Honda is turning into Toyota with Sports cars,wouldnt be surprised if they dont bring it back and have no RWD cars.
How is the S2000 way behind everything else?

Well it isnt a "track car" so to speak...its a track inspired street car. I bet 75% of the people who buy it wont let it see a track...IMO they should've taken some pointers from lotus

7k more for what, stiffer suspension, a god awful wing and front bumper... tires too? Wow.
And they call it a club racer, yet it still has elements that don't make it a racer per say, such as a/c, leather interior, stereo, etc. They should have ditched all that stuff and made the price the same or even less than base. Thats a REAL club racer

A/C and stereo have to be optioned in IIRC. Cloth Interior too, no leather. Its still ugly and those same 5 spoke wheels are on the '08's as well, they're just silver instead of that "gunmetal" color.

Intention The S2000 CR was designed to drive to the track, and around it. The CR is a competitor, and its driver should possess the desire to maximize its potential for improved track times at club racing events.
Quicker The factory-tuned CR is an extreme performer. Its aerodynamic design and stiffer suspension settings provide increased rigidity and increased downforce. It’s a purist’s sports machine that builds on the race-inspired attributes of the original S2000—then cranks out even more of everything sports car drivers crave.
Lighter The CR takes “track-inspired” to an entirely new level. With racecar-like suspension and lower weight, its cornering, braking and acceleration make it one of the best rides around. To accomplish this, the audio system and air conditioning are now offered as options and the spare tire has been replaced with a tire repair kit. This, along with other modifications, lightens the racy roadster by nearly 100 pounds from the original S2000. Add in a taut new chassis, quicker steering ratio, “stickier” tires, and track-inspired has never felt so meaningful.
EXCLUSIVE STANDARD FEATURES:

IMO, if you take stuff off.. you should charge less money!
I dont know what honda was thinking but atleast after a few years all of them will be sitting collecting dust and I will be able to trade my AP2 in for one dirt cheap!

There isn't anything on that car that will make it perform that much better at the track. Take that few thousand and do some real upgrades to your s2000 to make it faster at the track. That shit is ugly...they did it just to sell to the F&F generation that is getting old enough to afford it.
