Default ap1 vs ap2

Sorry guys, nothing too exciting here. Just posting this hoping to find out what the ap2 had under the hood. I was traveling on the 405 N in LA when I approached a black ap2 with a K&N sticker on his rear bumper and chinese characters on the side of his car. I antagonized him and got him to race/not really race with me. He looked stock but he pulled on me pretty hard. The race was from about 80-125 or so. Just wondering if he was stock or not. If he was, then damn ap2 is a lot faster than ap1.


That is why i'm going turbo!

Again sorry for the post, just hoping that guy is on these forums cuz i'm curious to see what his mods...if any..there were.

He might of had gears which is the best bang for buck mod you could get.

Doubt he had gears=). When i had my ap1, i was convinced that it was pretty equal/driver's race, but now that i have an ap2, i have no problem pulling on the cars i was pretty close to with my ap1. I also don't think my ap1 would baseline dyno at 225 rwp with cold air/test pipe. They both pull hard, but 2.2 def feels faster, espec with the driver mod. If you are a fast shifter like myself- One will benefit from the shorter gears in the 2.2 as well....

I'm also convinced that AP2 06+ is faster.
