Default AP1 Impressions Video Review

Making an S2K video has been on my list for awhile. I think these cars are a blast and, especially with how relatively cheap they are right now, an absolute bargain. Even if you're not a Honda fan it's hard to NOT think these will be collectible to some degree given the unique driving experience they provide.

Anyway, enough blabbing. Checkout this review of this hardtop AP1 and let me know what you think. I'd love to hear from other S2K owners!

That was very well done, felt like i was watching a semi pro vid

Now for my review of your review The few gripes you had with the car wouldn't be there if you just drove it top down as it was intended That just further magnifies the grin you already have with the driving experience in this car. Hard tops are for rain and photos, neither of which have anything to do with driving this car

Later if you want to address the lack of trq, drop in an F22, its a noticeable improvement, and you can safely rev it all day to 8500 if you prefer, the added power per rpm is well worth the slightly shorter rev limit and it mates better to the ap1 trans gear ratio for a better mph spread

Thanks for the positive comments all!

I agree, in the grand scheme the low(ish) torque is not a huge issue if you drive around it. I was reaching a bit for things I didn't like and nitpicking to some extend. They're so good overall and hopefully that came across in the video.

I appreciate the feedback!

I hope to do more in the future as time allows. Checkout the S4 video on my channel if you're interested. The s2k was high on my list of cars I wanted to review and it did not disappoint.
