Thanks Dale. You can trust the Germans to give you good info in the manual. This will help in my decision in what year and S/base to look for.

So for MY00 to MY02 the S has about 15% more hp and 18% more torque than the base box, and makes as much torque at 2200 rpm as the base's peak torque at 4800 rpm.

Dale, could you go and buy a MY03 and scan those pages too? Ok, maybe I'll go look at one today to see the manual.

Yesterday I drove an 02 S Tip. Loved the power, not so much the Tip. It was a cool nor-cal day (~40 F). I found myself doing a few tank slappers
