The Carrera S is definetely faster than the Carrera but the subjective feel (or called "popometer" in german language...I leave it to fritz to find the proper translation... ) indicates something else.




Sorry, I'm not up to the challenge! Can't think of an equivalent English word to "Popometer". If i wanted to invent one, I'd go with "buttometer", meaning a seat-of-the pants performance gauge.

I've only driven a Carrera S so far, so cannot compare the performance of the two versions. My impression was that the engine has so much torque that it produces such effortless acceleration that you are just not conscious of how good the performance really is, or how fast you are really moving. This is a "problem" I also have with the 996 Turbo.
