Your first paragraph consisted of 137 words with no periods.

Your second paragraph consisted of 54 words, 13 periods and one comma.

Are they paying janitors enough to afford sports cars now?

I'm confident there is a janitor out there that would make you look like a fool.

whatever, i don't care..like i said just sharing the story..and even thought he punch the gas,i still whoop him no doubt,that's the fact,no hate..you know i mean, but i understand most of you here is got ap1 i can understand that is all good...nothing to say anymore..is just going to be the half of the s2ki members going against this topics puhahahahaahahahahhaaha..
Its not half of the owners going against the other half. There are proven facts that both the ap1 and ap2 would be a drivers race for 1/4 mile times, one is not any faster than the other. If you were racing from a roll then it would depend on the starting speed.

Do some research before you start making false claims

^look... stop your fast and furious hip/hop slang attitude. Nobody is going to take you seriously when you say things like "son" and "dawg". Maybe in your 11 grade science class it's cool but in the real world people look down on ebonics as a lack of tact and education.

The best 1/4 mile time for a stock AP1 is 13.6 and the best 1/4 mile time for a stock AP2 is 13.6. That means both are equal. Maybe he is a bad driver, maybe he has "bling bling" 18" wheels or some other dumb mod that is making his car slower.

Anyway, from what I gather, you're right about performance being about the same. I haven't raced any so far, but specs seem to indicate that the AP2 is a less hairy drive, whatever that means
AP2s were made for old US citizens, I'm convinced.

and a/b the quarter mile times: I've seen 13.7s w/ stock FD gears and light mods....4.57 is only getting 13.3?

A 13.7 and a 13.3 are worlds apart
