If you're not already planning to purchase a 2008 Honda S2000 CR, then it's not the car for you.

We do not write this as a knock against this special-edition S2000. Indeed, it's a compliment.

We've counted the S2000, entering its eighth year on the market (yes, you're getting old), as one of our favorite roadsters since we first piloted one in late 1999. We've always praised its knife-edge dynamics, its simplicity, its utter lack of electronic intervention, its resolutely modern and anti-retro style, and six-way toggle switch of a shifter. The CR edition doesn't change any of that. In fact, the stripped-down CR, which stands for club racer, is an even more intensely pungent version of that same flavor.

  • Exactly!!! N/A all ...

    Exactly!!! N/A all the way. No cheating wit a turbo. Just add CAI, catback exhaust, exhaust manifold (headers), underdrive pulleys and hyper ground wires! And you have a VERY HAPPY AND HEALTHY F20 VTEC motor! =). Cam gears aren't really necessary unless u wana really fine-tune 4 utmost performance. Torque isn't even an issue ne more. =). NO forced induction please. Otherwise get a wrx or evo.

    Some people thinks it looks hideous based on pics...I saw one a few days ago at a dealership...it looks freakin' amazing in person!!! Even when one sits in it, it feels different, way different from my MY05...:)

  • Just buy the ...

    Just buy the original and save your money. s2k is an s2k. If you are not a professionla driver you can't get the CR s2k round a track any fast than the origianl and ever if you a a pro driver the diff will be like half a sec to a sec.

  • turbo the engine? ...

    turbo the engine? ruin the engine. the s2000 perfect the way it is.. But i don't see the point of the CR can't even have a roof if it starts raining... 90 pounds less is not much just lose your spare wheel and rip off the ac yourself if you want 90 pounds gone... That way you dont have to pay more for the CR

    Why would you mess up the perfect Vtec engine with a turbo? The beauty of the s2000 is its Vtec system. I think the greatest thing about Hondas sports cars are the Vtec system. All motor all the way!!

    I'm suprised they didn't put a few bolt-ons on so they could say it had more power. Why would you pay more for no AC and no radio?

    nah, it wouldn't be a collectible anymore, plus you have to worry about all the piping, the cost of all the miscellaneously parts I might need. So it's not gonna be cheap plus it'll take a lot of time

    now the only this thing needs is a carbon fibre roof,a turbo system, and a very stiff aftermarket suspension.
