^ the car does come with some standard option that the reg box s does not. It comes with the metallic paint, carrera wheels, xenons, bum warmers, gt3 delete console, painted crests, and a couple other things straight from the factory. Plus it comes with the short shifter and the 6 extra hp.
Another S in S, yeah the 987 will naturally improve upon some things over the 986, but have you seen it? It's friggin ugly.
It can be the best car in the world, but if you wince when you look at it, who cares? Hopefully the production model will be alot better for porsche's sake.
