Nice nod:

The low supply raises concerns:

I would consider buying one but I’m not putting up with dealer up charges ($10k-30k+), aka greed.

I like that it's actually limited. I don't want to pay an insane markup though. This model is more along the lines of the ITR.

Honda...if you're listening here...

Gotta be honest I think I’m more interested in this, even though we aren’t getting it (of course we’re not)

Black seats, 19’s, more reserved styling.

Also noticed in a video the limited edition ditched the Continental’s for the sport cup 2’s

I love that interior compared to the standard R. Reminds me of the ITR interior.

I agree, this model has peaked my interest. I fear markups will prevent me from purchasing.

My RS has Sport Cup 2's. They are a fun tire, albeit expensive. The outer tread is dedicated to dry grip.

The Sport Cup 2's are the same tire that ships on GT3's.
