Nah, I like my inferior Honda.

 

You're just mad because you have an AP1

 

yea i also believe that newer IS better. honda wouldnt and shouldnt downgrade.

just down to personal preference. i just thought the 9k was cool =] thats all

 

Perhaps he learned from Mr. K, father of the 240Z (Fairlady Z in Japan), and largely responsible for Datsun's success in the U.S. He was always vocal that the 240Z was the best of them, and that subsequent Z's were inferior. He referred to the 280ZX as the "fat lady"

Anyway, he is absolutely REVERED in Z circles, but that kinda talk didn't do much for his career with Datsun/Nissan Japan, who never fully appreciated him.

As for AP1 vs. AP2, the AP2 doesn't offer anything to entice me. 10% more displacement is offset by 10% loss in revs, as far as I'm concerned that's a wash (though 9k rpm has much more coolness factor over 8k rpm than 2.2 liters has over 2.0). At least it didn't get much (any?) heavier.

 

The opportunity to meet the head engineer of one of the best sports cars in the history of automobiles. That is too cool. One of those silver Sharpies to the right of the radio. Perfect. My luck, I would of forgot it too.

 

That's it... the war is over.

It's official... AP2's are the best!

All AP1's, please exit left!!!

 

Wow, its like a dad telling one of his two sons that he's favored over the other. Don't feel bad AP1s, we love you too, just not as much...

 

Excpet for the fact that he's retiring. That's why we got the CR, its supposed to be a car designed just the way he likes it.... so, maybe age is effecting him...

 

AP1 < AP2

 

It's his personal preference, just like anyone else's opinion. Though, personally I don't care, both are fantastic cars.
