Do we have ap1 fanboys logging on to diss ap2s or something? From what you described 06 as bathtub, the car itself must've fcked up somewhat. And seriously, it's time to learn to punctuate.

I have ZERO issues in the rain.... even driving a little spirited. (no I dont normally but everyone said it had issues so I was seeing how it was)


Tires probably have 60% life left too....

I wouldn't get too defensive. It's a completely different skill set.

Thats good that the tread was there, but that doesnt help the fact that they could have just been really cheap tires.

Yeah, but do you have any seat time on the track and/or autox course? Driving a big rig is deffinately not the same thing as driving a car to it's limits. I quite a bit of seat time on the track/autox course, wana let me drive your big rig with a full load through the smokies

I don't know of too many RWD sports cars that won't break traction when you get on it in the rain. If you dislike this maybe you should take a peek at an AWD car.

As far as the 06 you drove sounds like something was wrong with it. It should deffinately not feel any slower than any of the other years you drove, maybe a bit different because it has the 8k redline vs. the 9k, but not slower. What do you mean by driving a "bath tub"

WOW!!
Drove an '06 yellow(ground effects....spoiler not wing) 2K today....
.....OMG!!

Awesome car..love it!
Just a great car...SO much better than the '03..the tranny was
precise...clean...perfect!
The noise was great....the drivetrain noise from the '03 was deafening..
but this car was racy but refined(a bit!).

Can't comment on wet weather as it was sunny in Daytona today....
but love this car!!

Please keep in mind...I come from a FWD backround for the last 15
years...and while the RWD I drive for work might put out 1300lb ft
of torque it's of course tempered by a lot of weight!

At 40 miles...beautiful yellow..ground effects..those great Honda
17"inchers....might have to pull the trigger for $19K!!

bgoetz..forget the Smokies...while you would probably smoke me
at autox....I just have a feeling you might be a bit unnerved driving
a big rig across the Goethels bridge then 278E for a romp through
Brooklyn then over to Queens for one of those very trying loading docks! lol

Or maybe blindsiding in Chicago to a dock from a VERY busy 2-way street..
of course you're doing this while having had 3 hrs of sleep over the past
72hrs.! wa wa!

Ckit...you r correct sir! no problem..the guy was right..I did push a bit!

bottom line....love the car....hope to join the community if ya'llcan
tolerate another newbie!

thanks for feedback!!

I wonder what was wrong with the first ‘06 that you looked at?
At least you found a better AP2 to test out.

AP1’s and AP2’s are both great cars.
You just have to keep in mind that there are bad examples of both in the used car market.

Good luck

Holy cow 6'5 and you fit comfortably in an S!

You've exceeded your allotment of exclamation points for 2009.

It's a good thing we're almost to 2010....
