So they stiffened the front a bit eh? That didn't get picked up on the ol' 'Nad-o-meter.
'S'near'z I can figure, the cockpit's mounted kind'a aft n' aft is where you've godda locate the majority of your concentration when you're really pushin' Stewie in a corner. ('Can't rightly make it to that apex that you're pointin' to if your tail's about to exit the outside of the corner, tail lights connected to the knee-bone, connected to the front end n' all) So, what registers most is the softer suspension that's been set into play in the rear. N', to me anyway, it makes a noticeable difference n' is why I opted for the AP2. Ma Honda's got some pretty good personnel that earn their paychecks to my way'a thinkin'.
As for that extra torque, not doubtin' anyone for a minute here, so don't get me wrong, but that's not somethin' that I found noticeable.
N' for the record, as much as I'd really like to, I haven't had any Stewie anywhere near a track. But not havin' the ability to jump into an AP1 anymore, any comparison at my end'a things is past tense. I've godda tough it out bein' limited to livin' with an AP2. Damn!
Be well.
