The reason it didn't become the S2200 is because Americans are the only ones that got stuck with the 2.2L that only revs to 8k. In Japan and Europe they still have the original 2.0L 9kRPM engine. Americans love their torque, so Honda came out with the 2.2L to sell more cars to Americans. The Japanese, who tend to be more purist about their cars, kept the 2.0L. I'm going to try really hard not to go into a rant about the subject. To keep it short and sweet, why the hell would you change a motor that won multiple awards just for a few more foot-pounds of torque in the low end. I don't know any 2.0L NA engine in history that was designed with low-end torque in mind. As said multiple times, high-RPM torque is better than low-RPM because you can take advantage of gearing. Well, I guess Americans got what they wanted, an easier to drive car with a softer suspension and more low-end torque but less high-RPM performance That's what the S2000 is all about right?

His info may be a little out of date, but his reasoning is much better supported than yours. He probably knows a lot more about the two engines as well, at least if his and your comments are any indication.
You guys all need to grow up or shut up. The AP1/AP2 crap isn't even on topic so why don't all you AP2 whores and APa wankers just put it where the sun don't shine. All ANY of you do is expose your ignornace.

I don't think it's fair to single out any one individual, when so many worked together to trash the thread.
