As far as I know the only changes are the motor, new instrumentation to match the new redline, revised bumpers, different wheels, and the return of the red/black interior treatment instead of the all red option.
With the powerband of the motor as narrow as it is, I think widening it a bit at the sacrifice of 500 rpm at the top end of things will still result in a generally quicker car in most situations. The main problem with the S2k on a track for example, is that it's got the stopping power and handling balance to gain a bunch of ground coming into turns but it's tough to keep the motor in the meat of the powerband for corner exits. If the powerband gets a little fatter than it should be easier to power out of corners and squirt past those heavier cars.
I agree with the red on black. I think black exterior with red interior would be the best. :thumbup:
As for keeping it the powerband for the exit, it is just a matter of skill. The transmission is close ratio enough to make it possible. It just requires some skill.
