Keep in mind that hardtop is over $3k new.
With no A/C ($600?), no sound system ($500?), and no soft top ($1200), you should be able to add a hardtop, different suspension (shouldn't be that much more expensive than the stock one), and stickier tires for around $2K over current MSRP.

Mark, stop adding some logic to the thread.

That's the dirty secret of the sports car world. Everyone "claims" to want a stripped-out hardcore version of their favorite car, but then no one buys them. Even famed racers like the Miata that had a club racing version were extremely slow sellers. Porsche GT2/3 cars sell well now, but back in the era of the 964 RS Americas, Porsche dealers could hardly GIVE those cars away, and that was at a $10k savings over a Carrera 2 (of course, RSAs are now in demand and command a hefty premium). Of course, the Ferrari 360 CS sold well, but you could take a dump in the front boot of a 430 and call it the Club Racing Action Pack and get a $25k premium for it. Even the Elise, though, aside from a cult following, can't find many buyers in the "mainstream" sports car market.
People talk a good game, but very rarely follow through on their promises to buy these stripped specials.

Thank god someone other than me realized they are going to charge you more. They are saving a chunk of change by not adding on all those other parts. So those parts and "tuning" your paying for isn't costing just a couple extra thousand... its a lot more than that.

Haha, I like your avatar.
The car is the fastest s2000. Butl, I think the main problem is that this car costs MORE than the regular s2000. The car is stripped and has cloth seats, so people would think it should be cheaper. The only "gains" are the tires and suspension, which shouldn't be more than $2k. If the CR cost about $28k I think it would sell nice. But $40k?

I think we all need to reserve judgment until we drive it. It sounds like it may offer the rawness of the AP1 with the stronger F22C engine.
I'm interested in the CR. It's better than nothing. The S2000 could very well be discontinued by now.
Think about it... Back in 2000-2001, who would have thought Honda would still be making this car in 2008?
