The only thing I can think of is there was damage to it when he had his little accident, and the car is just now getting the change/fix

No Hardtop.
I had the top up at Knapp this year for a bit. That's about it...

That's about as exciting as a new toilet brush.

BS!!!

ALL AP1's are driven by people of various degrees of talent
Some people know how to drive the car and love, it as it is
Some don't know how to drive it, and they blame the car for their own lack of skill
It's not the car, it's the f'ing drivers



Sorry, I'm not yelling at you, it's just that I'm just sick and tired of all the condescending attitudes towards AP1's. The cars are f'ing great, in fact they are even awesome in fully stock trim. Some people can drive them, some people can even drive them really well, and some people just don't have a clue, and it's the latter group that like to say this, that, and everything else is wrong with the car. The problem with those cars is the asss in the driver's seat.

I dunno. I have to run 1/4" of rear toe-in to counter act bump steer for autocross.

Had to fix mine last Sat when the plow knocked mine off it's pole.
