What else should they compare it to?

Another CR type car maybe?

For me, first line of the review sums it up:

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

Also, if they gutted the AC and stereo, why are the panels / knobs / etc still in there? Seems kind of silly to me.

best quote FTA: "Maybe we'll just slap some RE070s on a standard car and stop eating so many Coney dogs."

translated IMO: don't waste your money if you already have an s2k.

Some will have radio and A/C.

Not all will be completely convenience free.

The yellow CR looks pretty decent in that pic and would match that yellow interior. Still hate the wing, but I could live with the front lip...

Not sure I agree with the whole "Honda giving up" on pulling more power from the F-series engine; stroke that baby out to 2.5 or 2.7 liters..viola 280 HP!

By the way, if the car had a 30 HP increase, I'd be moderately interested; I'd just remove that wing when I got home from the dealership, cover it in fabric and use it to iron my slacks.
