Very beautiful, it's a shame for the 9500rpm redline... but I hope the steering will provide more feeling, I read in Evo that the electronic servo-assistance is not as good as the traditional one

yeah, they say the value of the old one will go up, because of redline drop.

That should make this thing alot quicker, i know alot of complaints in the reviews were about the early revs, because the VTEC in the car didnt kick in till around like 5500 RPMs. Now this should kick in around 4000, maybe even 3700 RPMs. Very good move honda. I love this car, its my favorite roadster, and this thing can move like no other.

SO the name won't be S2200? Phew
As for the redline going down, I know that VTECs are meant to turn high, but the main downside of the S2000 always was the peak of power to high into the revs, to hard to be used fulltime...

The S2000 WILL be my next car - One more year to go
I've been wanting one for over a year already and since my test drive it's the only choice

dunno why but from the front it kinda reminds me of a miata. i hope the rear end on this car is more frisky. in the older s2000s the rear end didnt seem to want to play and yes steering feed back sucked. i never liked the feel of its gearbox either. getting used to shifting so high was one of its qauilitys now thats almost gone. i just hope it has more torque and with the bigger displacement a bottom end.

yea but when they drop the redline, the also lower the the RPMs for the VTEC to kick in. So you wont just be cruising around on nothing until 5,000 RPMs.

I hate the digital dash. It's small things like this that turn me off some times. Give this baby some analog gauges for godsake.
