No boost, I guarantee that. I expect it to have no traction control, a different set of lighter wheels, some interior bits and a stiffer suspension. Maybe upgraded sways and an extra 10hp. Not what I want to see, but that’s my prediction. ---

:word: Honda is not going to put boost in the stook, their main selling point has always been high revving naturally aspirated engine. They may change the exhaust piping some as well, maybe even some kind of roll bar or chassis stiffening. ---

[quote=“Zong,post:4,topic:25837"”] Hardtop? [/quote] I wish. I was writing up what I wanted in the car, but the list got too long. #1 was hardtop. They may have it optioned to include the stock hardtop though. I don’t expect them to strip out the softtop stuff as people who only run the hardtop do. No real need for chassis stiffening, to be honest. I’ve heard from guys who caged the car that it’s a nice improvement, but there are other areas where the car actually NEEDS improvement in. ---

I’m willing to bet that whatever the extra cost is for that version, it isn’t worth it. Either way…:tup: cause its a stook! ---
