compassvale 0 Report post Posted November 30, 2007 i think i better buy the GTR R/C body when it's out and then lend u the remote control lah..that one crash never mind....heheoh..about taking sharp corners....there's a saying, the sharp corner ahead is what separates the boys and the men.but scared lah....i rather not grow up that reminds me of a tale from a friend, driving a grey silver van.He was travelling one rainy day from PIE>BKE bend....not speeding or wat....only 50-60kmph...then his van spin almost 360deg around on the 2lane bend...scare the **** out of him...luckily no vehicles beside and the vehicles coming from the back all brake...his van quite big (forgot the make/model) but the tyres only 155/R13 nia ....so he scared..went to change to 185/R14 now...in the end..whether u ride motorcycle, drive swift, BMW or ferrari...what matters in the end are only the rubber patches on the road...dun play play....马路如虎口..hehe Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

S2000 CR Race Track ReadyIntroducing the next roadster to epitomize the pure thoroughbred racer lineage of Honda motorsports: The 2008 S2000 CR “Club Racer”. Intention The S2000 CR was designed to drive to the track, and around it. The CR is a competitor, and its driver should possess the desire to maximize its potential for improved track times at club racing events. Quicker The factory-tuned CR is an extreme performer. Its aerodynamic design and stiffer suspension settings provide increased rigidity and increased downforce. It’s a purist’s sports machine that builds on the race-inspired attributes of the original S2000—then cranks out even more of everything sports car drivers crave. Lighter The CR takes “track-inspired” to an entirely new level. With racecar-like suspension and lower weight, its cornering, braking and acceleration make it one of the best rides around. To accomplish this, the audio system and air conditioning are now offered as options and the spare tire has been replaced with a tire repair kit. This, along with other modifications, lightens the racy roadster by nearly 100 pounds from the original S2000. Add in a taut new chassis, quicker steering ratio, “stickier” tires, and track-inspired has never felt so meaningful. EXCLUSIVE STANDARD FEATURES: Firmer springs, dampers and suspension bushings Stiffer front and rear stabilization bars Quicker steering ratio Larger rear P255/40 R17 tires Bridgestone® Potenza RE070 tires All-new 17" dark gray 5-spoke alloy wheels Fully functional aerodynamic front and rear spoilers Yellow and black fabric Yellow-stitched seats, shift boot and steering wheel Spherical aluminum shift knob Removable aluminum hardtop Body-colored roll bar cowlings Sport-tuned exhaust silencer wah...is this good prediction from her or wat not exact hue though...but close enough ba...i would never guessed they would use this kinda blue on S2000...lolactually hope next time can own a sporty car and a big SUV/MPV....a good combination will be something like Honda S2000 & CRV/OdysseyNissan GTR & MuranoMazda RX & CX7BMW Z4 & X5/7seriesToyota (celica/trueno/supra replacement) & PicnicSubaru (hmm...they dun make sports coupes leh...no choice but wrx) & TribecaMitsubishi (also no sports coupes like last time FTOs/GTOs...no choice but evos) & Outlander? hehebest of both worlds...one ride to enjoy driving....the other for utilian usage....hehe Edited December 1, 2007 by compassvale Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
