RC -- the turbo IS the car for you. you know it. there's no alternative (at least not in PAG's portfolio ). i'm not sure that the "S" badge is that important since the 996 turbo S was just "X50 and PCCB come as standard". maybe it'll be different this time with more distinctive "S" features (my guess: quad pipes like 997 S or 993 TTS).

and why a convertible? it's sure no fun for the kids in the back to drive with the roof down. rear seat space is even limited. and if you want to go for a topless drive with your wife, take the boxster.
