Where do you live? If you get lots of rain/snow and plan to drive it as a dd get the v2. Do you plan on modding? Hondata good enough or FI? These should plan an important part in your decision. NSX & Porsche use DBW, it can't be all bad! Either way, both are great cars!

Well, considering five of the seven who bothered to respond have Sebring/Silverstone Silver, I think the OP knows which color is "best." 
As for AP2 versions, I was more concerned with how well the previous owner cared for the car and what price I was paying than version 1 or 2. VSA would have been cool but I like cable throttle and AP1 seats.

There are a few more draw backs to the V2 if you mod:
- If you want aftermarket seats, passenger rail is different, only a very few fit
- The extra SRS senor under the passenger seat makes it so aftermarket seat = SRS light
- No current non-custom roll cage fits without a hack
- Super sensitive O2 sensor makes TP a problem
- Some exhaust don't fit
- Brake lines are different if you go aftermarket brakes be aware
Might be more, but that is what I have off the top of my head for now

I'm in the market for an AP2 and I'm DEFINITELY settled on the V1. I want a car that will punch me in the face if I piss it off. I don't think VSA would do that.

I bought the best deal I could find after 3 months of shopping. I was willing to compromise AP1/AP2, any color, so long the mileage was low, it was bone stock, well maintained and priced below market.
