Oh, and another reason for the S - There's quite a few boy-racer-mobiles (and BMWs) that could think they would stand a chance against the 2.7. With the S, hopefully they wouldn't bother. Probably irrational thought, but another reason I pushed myself up to the S.

lets make it clear, these cars are too expensive for what they are worth...porsche is not into cars they are into money...in my own opinion they should only have 1 engine i n each model which means: boxster= 280hp 6 speed, 911= 355hp, gt3-380+ hp, etc...cayman=280hp 5k less than boxster s you get my point...forget exclusivity porsche produces almost as much boxster than honda do s2000!

Drove the S yesterday on the track. There just isnt that much difference. This isn't 'cos I couldnt afford the S (just my bank manager and accountant would have a fit) but in my opinion the standard S is a fantastic car and I'm very happy with mine.
I'm sure loads of you will disagree but that was my impression after driving both back to back.

I wish I made enough money so I could say $10,000 is nothing gained !!! I'm afraid you've missed the point

That's why I got the base (986). The base is so good, the S only incrementally better, IMHO. It's not a big jump from base to S, like it might be if you were going from the Boxster (base or S) to a 911.
