Yeah, what was it...base price $35K? Quite a lot for 230HP, no roof and two seats.

...and typically bland Honda styling.

I do wish our 86s had the drivetrain durability of the S2K...

240HP with same displacement, less compression and port injection 14 years ago, and let's not forget that superior suspension... But who's counting.

I think we have a pretty beefy transmission with the exception of the few that have had manufacturing quality control issues and the FRS rear differential is a stronger rear differential than the S2000 had, well at least the AP1.

Wheelbase is still too small.

Honestly though, two different cars still if you ask me.
