Not as impressed with the AP2
Speaking of owning both, why stop there? If you want a harsher car, get a real race car or a kit car in addition to the S2000. If you want more torque and refinement and all that good stuff, then add a Jag or a Benz to your stable. I have an AP1 because it's at the far end of the spectrum, and a Benz because the AP2 is too close to my AP1 to make a meaningful difference, while the Benz isn't. Having vastly different cars makes them all more enjoyable.
As far as handling goes, there is a road near here where the handling of our RX-300 is so superior to the S2000 that I'll race any S2000, over a two mile stretch, for pinks, anytime anybody cares to give it a shot. You'll do fine until you get to the creek and the quicksand.
Point being, good handling is as much a function of what you're doing as it is what you're doing it in.
Get more than one nice car.
Variety is the spice of life.

As time goes by the S has become more forgiven on the street road. SO DEAL WITH IT and LOVE IT!!! hahahahha

Nice ride. I hope your's is as nice when it's 7 years old as mine is at that age, and I hope you're just like me, and love everything about it just as much then as you did the day you bought the car.
Wait until somebody gets a CR and argues that it is the best S2000 ever. LOL, the top doesn't even go down, so nanner nanner nanner.

You do don't you, Mocky? Both Berlinas? Do you have a preference?
Started with an '01 NFR that was gone in '04
Picked up '05 Berlina in April of '05.
Wife has an '00 Berlina.
Which do I prefer? Well, put it this way.....when we get our next car, we will sell one of the cars and be down to 1 Berlina.... and it will be the Ap2.

It comes down to personal preference.
AP1 for me, I have an S because it is a raw experience. For it to be more refined would be for it be less of an S and more like any other car.
I do like the AP2's looks and torque, but not enough to give up the feel in the steering, shifter, clutch, turn-in, etc. I can always add an ASM bumper and gears.
At the end of the day, they are all S's, and there are no bad ones.

Or you could just spend a couple grand on a Supercharger, exhaust, ECU, and Header and throw down some nice HP and TQ and not have to worry about the maintenance you do with a turbo. And a 50 Shot of NOS cant hurt!!
