"Price: The Carrera (without "S") seems like a bluff package to me, and the Carrera S should have a few goodies as standard, too. Things like Chrono Sport, adaptive sports seat, sport exhaust and short shifter should be standard or cost free options."

Great review, RC!
Since the Carrera S has a M97/01 engine, do you know if this means they addressed the crankshaft concentricity issue (RMS leak) from the M96?

RC said:... The Honda VTEC engine delivers satisfactory power when the 997 Carrera S engine hits the rev limiter. So I don't think this is a good example.

We say "Mogelpackung" in Germany. Difficult to translate, somehow getting "less value" for your money or not being the best deal. How about "fritz"? I'm sure he knows the right translation.
