That article confuses me. I read on this board the AP1 revs to 9200 while the AP2 8300.

"Because of its high-revving nature (9,000 rpm redline for the 2000 to 2003 models and 8,200 rpm for the 2004 model onwards), it is one of the few naturally-aspirated engines to produce over 100 hp/L...

...As a result, the redline was reduced to 8,000 rpm (mandated by the longer travel distance of the pistons). "

The higher "rev limits" (AP1 9200, AP2 8300) are probably fuel cutoffs rather than "redline" (AP1 9000, AP2 8200).

I thought the fuel cuts off @ redline. If you can go past redline, then what does redline even mean? I'M SO CONFUSED!!! You know it really sucks reading this forum everyday and still not know some of the basics.

I don't wanna change wikipedia without knowing the actual facts.

[QUOTE=LiQUiD iCE,Jul 16 2006, 01:19 PM]Kinda funny that the wikipedia has been edited to include some of the AP1 owner's comments about the AP2 being "less raw" and "tamer", and even has a review to back it up ...

I could find a review to backup claims that the new S2000 is more neutral and stable than the older one too ... (Reference: [URL=http://www.roadandtrack.com/article.asp?article_id=1949
