Not sure what you really want to use the car for. There are so many other factors to consider.

I understand you are talking about the difference between the 986S and a regular 987. For me, although 18hp is always appreciated, the other differences would cause me to choose the 987. IMO Its upgraded interior and other changes more than make up for the power difference. But I was not looking for a track car when I bought mine. However, the 987 is no slouch. I went to the Boxster from a 300+HP heavily modded Mustang and I do not feel that the Box is underpowered by any means.

I think whatever choice you make will be a good one. It’s kind of like being at Ruth’s Chris and having to decide between the filet and the t-bone. Either way you are getting an amazing (albeit expensive) meal.
