Yes, the softer rear came in response as Car & Driver put it, "the rear coming around when the driver ran out of talent". I've always enjoyed that comment.
The gearing is significantly different bewtween the AP1 and AP2. I drive an AP1 and I instructed a guy on Laguna Seca in an AP2. The biggest difference is I only hit 4th gear twice, on the front stretch and between 4 & 5. 3rd gear redlines around 90-92 miles per hour in the AP1. In the AP2, 3rd gear redlines at 74 miles per hour, a huge difference that results in a lot more shifts and a very untimed one in the middle of the straight as you are going uphill before approaching the corkscrew. I prefer the AP1 hands down.
