If you want to magazine race, here are numbers from Road & Track, March/05 (so an AP2) ..................

0-60 ........... 5.4
1/4 mile ...... 13.9

Honda has also admitted that they sacrificed a "bit" of performance by adding the weight of certain more "civilized" ammenities to the newer car. The point is that a slower time of 0.2 seconds and having to shift one more time is not significant considering that we're talking about different drivers, different track, different atmospheric condtions, etc. If the AP2 could have been driven by the same guy at the same track at more or less the same conditions, we could see numbers that are quite different again.

I don't have actual gear ratios and such but here is the gist of it:

AP2 trannies have a different secondary reduction gear ratio. This is what makes the gearbox "seem" like an AP1 with higher ratio final drive gears. To make it more "driveable" on the highway, Honda also put in different 5th and 6th gears so that cruising rpms come back down to something a bit more reasonable.

what it comes down to, is there is really no discernable difference between the two in the performance. for all argument's sake they are dead even. the ap2 has additions and tradeoffs that basically make it perform equally.

Original question was 0-62 (a typical metric to IU conversion in European magazines, 100kph = 62mph), not 0-60. It'll obviously be slower than 0-60 times posted in US magazines, but it should not be higher than 6.0 seconds.
