The clutch system in the two models is different.

From the 2005 C2S Product Information Guide, page 30:
Clutch on the 911 Carrera:
The new 911 Carrera with 3.6 litre engine uses the familiar single-plate dry clutch with lead-free clutch lining.
Clutch on the 911 Carrera S:
The 911 Carrera S with 3.8 litre engine has been upgraded with a self-correcting X-Tend clutch. The X-Tend clutch constantly registers the decrease in pad thickness and compensates the difference in distance caused by pad wear by rotating an adjusting ring. This has the advantage of halving the growth in force that increases over the operating period until the limit for wear is reached in comparison with a conventional clutch.

Are you sure about that, Lukas? I had a chance to try both versions out at a recent tracking experience and I don't recall either one being different from the other. I can definitely say that the Turbo clutch requires less effort. I'll have to try again when I go back next month.

Sadly, very few salespeople actually seem to know its contents. In my experience, they give answers without checking the facts. When I was planning to buy my 997S, I read the books very carefully from cover to cover and found I usually knew far more about the car than the UK dealers who were trying to sell it to me!

Hey everyone, I'm in the midst of determining the differences in the 997 and 997S, and have already covered the option bundles. However, 2 discreet areas are the brakes and the clutch. The brakes are a little larger on the 997S, but I'm unclear on the clutch - are they they the same, or are they different? Please advise, thanks.

Personally, I have driven at least 14 or 15 997's - base, S, 4's, cabs, and even Targa's. I prefer the feel of the regular clutch! Hate me but it just feels better to me!
