What does it look like when you take those covers off it?

Apparently Honda engineers at Honda Performance Development have actually experimented with a more powerful version of the 2009 CR.

Since the two engines revolve in different directions, I suppose the drive train must have been modified too. If they mate the Acura TL V6 to the S2000 transmission -- I guess -- there would have been 6 reverse gears and 1 gear forward and a diff spinning the wrong way?

I also see that they used a dual core radiator.

I love the Cayman in black! I try to stay away from the Cayman web site but they send me their online newsletter and keep pulling me back. I detect some unrest with the VW take over and delays in preorders, but I know I could find room for one in my garage if the time is right.

Well it finally happened yesterday. After 8 years of happy bliss with my S2000, I FINALLY found a car that I would trade it in for. Of course it took a car that cost $100,000 more than I originally paid for my S. I didn't buy it of course, but I woke up this morning at 5:15 thinking of nothing else.

Do you prefer the S2000 over the Cayman S. Personally I think the Cayman S is a heck of great driver's car. I don't have any seat time in a GT3, so can't really comment. I love watching them on the track but I can't see myself in one.
