Anyone tracked a CR yet have any track comparisons? I'm not at break in miles yet so I haven't been able to track it.
So far the car feels awesome!

P.S. - Ive been meaning to do NSX vs. S2000 lap comparison for some time now. (same tires, same or similar aftermarket suspension, everything else stock).

Caveat: The NSX probably could have shaved a full second or two off its time if not for this problem according to the drivers: "Also, our test NSX seemed to have an alignment problem, resulting in numb steering feel and heavy understeer. Test driver Steve Millen agreed, "This car feels worse than the last NSX I drove," he commented. Still, the mid-engine Acura was able to click off faster lap times around Thunderhill than the S: a testament to the NSX's exceptional handling balance."

I question these numbers.. this is R&T after all.
There are a few drivers with stock S2000's that walk circles around good NSX setups and good drivers.. or so I hear.
I think the stock to stock the CR should do superb.

I took both my NSX and S2K ( not the CR ) out twice last year. I have very good suspensions on both this year and semi R compounds. I'm going to time both this year when I get to Summit Point. They both will have similar mods I'll post the results.
Sorry chief the AP1 is no CR.
Also please note this thread is not to start any type of NSX S2K war just wanting to get some impressions from NSX and CR owners who have both and have tracked both. I'll be updating as soon as I have both on the track.
Wow the camaro was that close? Seriously?
