This car feels almost exactly like a stock S2000, except the torque delivery is smoother and there's substantially more power. At lower rpms, there's a bit more juice than normal, not dramatically more, but as you toe the throttle, the power builds at an improbable rate, and very smoothly with no noticeable VTEC engagement point (thanks to the programmability afforded by Hondata). This smooth progression in power delivery means that there are absolutely no traction issues, and not a single combustion event is lost to wheelspin. While the power and torque are impressive, perhaps even more impressive is how perfectly the motor runs. The car starts and idles with no hint that it's not stock. Unlike competing supercharger kits I've sampled, there is absolutely no increase in vibration or harshness. The supercharger itself is somewhat audible, but compared to the whining, moaning and groaning of other supercharger systems, this one operates at a whisper. In between shifts, you can hear a slight chatter from the blowoff valve, but that's one of the few external clues that this car is packing a formidable forced induction punch. Launching the car is easy, but combining the AP2's short and tight gearing with the lightning-fast spool up of the supercharged F22c means that your right arm and left leg are kept plenty busy working the gearbox and clutch.
