So that's superior performance, for almost 25% of the price as the earlier model. My Integra GS-R was around $18k in 1992, which is $29,900 in 2013. A new Civic Si is $22,500, and it's performance eclipses the GS-R in every way. Why is this so difficult for some people to get? If Honda introduced a new S2000 tomorrow, identical to the one introduced in 1999, it wouldn't cost over $30k. Jesus...
