I have to disagree. I found my '00 to be very forgiving during the couple of track days I was fortunate to attend. I'd screw up, and then be amazed at how mild the car's reaction to my ham-fistedness actually was. YMMV.

Just wondering whether others have experienced this and maybe found ways to tame it a little.

Having owned and track both, I can categorically verify that the AP1 has significantly more oversteer than the AP2. (You all are free to debate "snap" oversteer vs just regular ol' oversteer - I don't think of it in those terms.)
The OP talks about OEM tires, and he has a MY06 so I suspect his tires are simply shot and in need of replacement. The OP has already started his tire purchase process, as well:

and most of the time it's driver's error more than anything

Would sway bars / autocross bars save my ap1 from this silly tail happy buisness!?
If you ask these guys that question without any details about your car's set up they will 
and you won't get any replies.I have an ap1 and have read/tried a few things.IMO,I'd try wider stickier tire and dailing in the dampening before I'd mess with SB's my .02 cents
