[QUOTE=blessed,Mar 5 2008, 10:13 AM]Or who's driving..



I believe a while ago I saw a list of all the AP1's and AP2's that have managed a 13.7 or better at the track. And there were twice as many AP1's. This was also a while ago so maybe its out dated now.


My whole understanding on the whole AP1 Ap2 thing is.. The AP2 was the more friendly everyday driver version of the s2000. More torque and a more accessible powerband made life easier/more enjoyable for the everyday American driver (aka you didn't have to rape the shit out of it to run a high 13 second pass). Suspension was made softer, rear end isn't as tail happy, a little more room inside, heavier, etc. However, when both cars have a phenomenal driver behind the wheel, the Ap1 was the faster car not only in a straight line, but around a track also. It's when in the hands of your average Joe the AP2 will outshine the AP1.

Now I could be wrong, but that's just my understanding. Not to mention I didn't lose to any of them in my AP1. And I use to ride with the south Fla s2k crew, where there would be 40-50 s2k's all riding out to the same spot or whatnot. But whatever helps some guys sleep an night I guess.

ive pulled on the ap1 off the line and on the freeway, including one with exhaust/intake (going uphill). not a huge difference to me, but there is a difference.

dont take this too seriously, we all know how accurate best motoring can be:

I'd have to say the AP2 had the Driver Mod.
