First decade ended 1999 with the 10AE.
2000 had the SE, literally named for special edition.
2001 had the SE in BRG with wood trim.
02 SE in titanium gray (and yellow? Or was that 03?)
03 Shinsen
04 and 05 MSM, and probably something else nobody cares about.
Things slowed down with the NC, but there were special editions in '06 I think with red leather interiors. There were some later special edtions, like in 2012 when they did the ones with black wheels and black hardtop which eventually basically became the club versions.
2015 25th anniversary car
2016 launch edition
2019 30th anniversary edition
Yeah. Fake news.

Well my first impression is that it's a little too refined as compared to what I'm used to. I stalled it at a stop sign twice yesterday because I couldn't hear the engine or feel the clutch engagement. A GWR super street muffler is in my future. Just, ya know, as soon as I sell a kidney or something.

My evil plan . . .
1. 2018-19 Sport (give them a couple of years to fix the gearbox and whatever other issues come up);
2. Swap in LSD from a wrecked 2016 Club;
3. Add the ND XIDAs, 6ULs and recommended sways that will be out by then;
4. Add ND roll bar;
5. Add long-tube headers, exhaust and tune to add 40ft-lbs across entire rev range;
6. Profit!! 
Modernized 95R project!

But, geez, it's hard to find a regular, soft-top Sport model.

I think I'm going to wait until this fall and pick up a GT-S, there is only like an 8lb weight penalty over the Club and it has a thicker top which will be nice since it will be a dual-duty car.

There are Sports around here too. They are all either white or black, and far less numerous than the upscale models. The price delta gives a lot of money to buy the bits I actually want.
