What year to get?
Buy a 2002...it's cheaper and there's no difference between the 02 and 03. I agree with everyone that says it's not as much fun in the newer models. I personally like the look of the ap1 better too. 02 FTW!
I really like the higher redline of the AP1's, but honestly, buy the newest/nicest that you can afford. I am sure you can find a pristine condition 2002-2003 though which is ideal in my opinion.
