I've noticed the price on them have dropped a fair bit.
Are they really that good to drive? Scary on the limit?
They seem to respond awesomely to being turbo'd. Costs?
Pro's and Con's on AP1 and AP2 please.
Or a decent forum to peruse over
Dribble...

After some more research, it seems its not great to turbo it because of stressing the engine too much
Conflicting info

fairly average straight line speed as standard. Turbo'd is interesting... handle well providing you know how to drive / aren't a pussy about getting the back to slide.
(most owners are pussies though, so they mince about in it)

I would hazard a guess that, like CTR's, and all other proper Vtec cars, it would be far happier with a Supercharger than a turbocharger. Every single one of the pictures above looks the tits

I agree with eck I was always told to keep away from turboing any vtec mentto be better and more responsive charged

I hated the power delivery when I test drove one & the interior was quite dull, switches etc looked more 1980's than 2000's.
Cheap though now I guess.

Those ones with the long hard tops look horrid. The grey one above is stunning tho.
Robs one on here was pretty awesome as well.

Ap2 GT is my next car for sure. Had the Ap1 and loved it but erm - drove on the edge all the time and it took its toll
