I also see the "SPORT" light to the left of the tach which makes me think there are 3 driving modes/damper settings: SPORT (normal), COMFORT & +R.

That's what I mean, it's very clear on the camo mule, but not on these shots from Montreal. The camo shot does not have the scoop, either. Hopefully just the lighting.

Yeah it sucked,, the guy had amazing skills and a proper camera, but it was just so dark in that room it was in.. the camo mule also has a very thin grill that makes it super easy to see.

A little off topic, but do you know why the tach has bigger lines on the inside from 2500-5500 rpm? As seen in my EX-T too.

Good question. Could just be aesthetic for visual balance or maybe indicates the power/torque 'sweet-spot'? Looks to be just aesthetic to me.

Perfect finally a clear shot of the identical tire size! 245/30/20... Can equal those by downsizing to 245/35/19 instead :p better tire choices!
Same thought has crossed my mind. I do like the look of the factory rims, but 19" rims would be a bit more forgiving on rougher roads and may not be as prone to damage. Wondering how hard it would be to get 19" Honda FK2 Type R rims over here, and if the offset will work..

Anyone planning on buying one? Would you daily drive it if so?
I plan to Summer daily drive it, (6 months where I'm from) (May-October) mine will then go into hibernation and miss all the salt. With hopefully less than 10,000kms (6kmi) per year.

The first day I can buy a blue one, assuming blue is available, I'll pick it up. I will Daily the car - I'll have a set of winter wheels/tires but I'll likely get rides or stay home the first winter.

I've daily driven my S2000 for the last 14 years. The CTR should be a lot more DD-friendly, well, maybe except the 20-inch wheel / low-profile tire part.
