ap2 owners love to say "8200."
thats because us ap1s have "9200" but everyone refers it to 9000.

the AP1 only revs to 8900 rpms
not 9000 or 9200 as you said. Look it up

Well, if you think this is the biggest difference, you're already lost. 
There are over 150 changes between the AP1 and AP2, and the redline is just one of them. The biggest difference imo is suspension and gearing.
Fix what? Its not broken.
You want to drag race, I don't think the S is really the car for you. Yes, you can drag it, but I'd want a torque monster for drag racing. Maybe a 350Z.
This I think is more of an AP1 concern. AP2s have different gearing that helps with the sub-vtec power.

Anyone who isn't sold on the character of the early cars, and can afford an AP2, would be happier with an AP2.

If you haven't driven either yet, I'd say that should be the first step. Everyone on here will have a different opinion. Drive them both. They're both great cars. However if you're looking to drag race, you're going to be sorely disappointed.
