5 hp is less, isn't it? Torque is down about 24 ft-lb. There's more of a difference if it's a pre-07 987. The acceleration of the 2000S is about 1/2 second faster than the current 987 base. If you look at the curb weights of the two cars, the 986S was about 40 pounds less than the base 987, of course that can change somewhat with options. The torque of the 986S will make it "feel" faster than the 987 base.
