what happened to the 9k redline
what's with all the new honda's decreasin the redline:
2004 S2k
DC5 type-R :?

Only the States get the 2.2 litres, what is offered is a lowered redline, 15% or so more torque and same horsepower. All else remains 2.0 litres (IE - Japan, Euro Markets) at this stage. Honda US made the F22c for those "no torque" complainers while Japan remains the true hardcore with the F20c in another year of production. Honda AU has yet to show it's path, but it's possible it could take either direction, we'd just have to wait and see at this stage.

how about the gearbox, is it still going to retain the gearing from the current model or is it going to be revised like the one coming to the states?

Don't worry, you're not the only one ... The general consensus among S2000 owners worldwide all judge the true S2000 as the 2.0L instead of the 2.2L. Only the US gets the higher displacement variant but lowered redline. 8)

To be honest, the S2000 is an impressive car on paper, and a disappointing one in the flesh...I'd never consider buying one, DC2 ITR is a far better steer IMHO.

DC2 ITR is a far better steer IMHO.
And you are probably right. The ITR is arguably as close as it gets to a production race-bred car (that Honda offers), even in stock form it is an awesome drive. The S2K is pitched at a different market anyway, and it is RWD.

True, but you look at the S2000 being a light RWD sportscar with the most hp/litre production engine, beautiful interior, and so on. Then you can go drive one.
Both the b18c7 and f20c are highly strung engines, but the b-series just seems that much more superior in power delivery and driveablility. And for what it is, the S2000's handling is pretty damn average.
In short: S2000 is a midlife crisis slart machine.
