You will get 100 different answers on whether you should buy an AP1 or an AP2. Hopefully this thread doesn't turn into that debate again Basically, the AP1 is lighter, more prone to oversteer, has a quicker steering ratio, stiffer suspension, and 16" wheels (the '00 and '01 models have a plastic rear window). The AP2 is a little heavier and less raw feeling, but has more creature comforts. If your primary reason for buying the S is to have a weekend car, track toy, or just have fun on winding mountain roads, the AP1 is a good choice. Also, you will save some money that you could spend on mods. If the car will be a daily driver, or you will be doing a lot of driving in traffic, the AP2 is a better choice. The softer suspension is easier on your internal organs, the radio can actually be heard over the exhaust, and the low-RPM torque makes stop and go driving in the city easier. Small problems to ask about would be oil consumption (especially on AP1s), and how many times the car has been launched. The rear diff has been a known problem area on cars that were taken to the track frequently (or on cars that were taken to the track once by somebody who doesn't know how to drive ). Hope this helps.
