Some people have an emotional need to feel that they have a superior car (TV, stereo, home, or what ever), and there will always be people who think that their BMW, S2000, or Porsche represents a no-compromise design. This kind of need and/or belief is telling, so I won't say any more about it, except to say that it is one ofs the reasons these stupid arguments will never go away. Too much vanity combined with too little knowledge.
The oddest thing to me is when somebody with an AP2 tries to imply that I'm jealous of the performance of his car just becasue I express a preference for the AP1. It's odd, and funny (and dumb), because my car has 80-90 more WHP than any stock S2000, and the handling has been tweaked to better suit my driving style, so what "performance" is it that is supposed to be making me jealous? That's another.
If people could leave their vanity at home there would not be any debate, but vanity blinds some to the extent that they can't see past the end of their own nose.
It's not just a car thing. It's human pride and vanity at it's most raw, and you see it everywhere. Facts are irrelevant and only serve to agitate the people who find them objectionable.

AP1 with AP2 Tranny 4.57 Gears > Ap1 and AP2
