From the online specs, they are only 66 lbs heavier with 8 more HP. Which 'technically' is a better power/weight ratio. Not sure what common options might sway those numbers.

I thought the improved vario-cam performance improved low-RPM response as well. Am I missing something that would make the 2000 S a better performer than the 2003 S?
+66#? Tip??


EDIT:
I have 126# difference between manual 00S vs. 04S.

*1997 Curb weight: 2,756 lbs

2000S Curb weight: 2778 lbs.

2003S Curb weight: 2811 lbs.

20004 Curb weight: 2904 lbs.

for reference, a 996.2 GT3 with AC and steel brakes is 3,152 lbs.
