I also vote for 04-05.
The AP2 chassis, mechanical throttle, no nannies. You can swap an F20 in, and have the ultimate S2000. After 04-05, I'd go 08-09.

I have an '02 and love it. I don't daily drive it, so I really appreciate the "rawness" of the AP1. I only drive the car about once a week, and mostly just track it, or take it for a relaxing drive with the top down. I rarely use it for anything else. I personally wouldn't want an S2000 as a daily driver, so for me, AP1 is the way to go just from a purist standpoint.
Never blown an engine due to lightness of flywheel... On the S or the Z (10 lb. tilton flywheel). Heavy flywheels are for people who don't know how to drive a manual transmission. I.e., 95% of the motoring public.

it wasnt the flywheel causing the problem, it was people mechanically over-reving the motor that caused the motors to blow, hence the beffier retainers on AP2s...as for myself, im in the 00-01 AP1 camp...i love everything about the car even its bigger plastic window
