"...I bet put up against most people in their 987 S models - i''d run parallel if not edge out in a straight run (at least up to 100)." That's a pretty ballsy statement there, especially since you're comparing two cars that for all intents and purposes are exactly alike, other than the fact that one has more power than the other.

commented on short shifter b/c carlamg made mention of 987S 6spd as an advantage - well 987 can have short shifter as well. compared auto to manual b/c you never know - in fact, maybe the 987S is manual and the non-S is auto - well, then pretty much a no brainer unless you're girlfriend is driving the S and it's she's a manual-virgin!

again, are you gonna tell me that you've never seen a stock integra beat a 5.0 mustang? mustang clearly has more power - so what happened - gov't scandal???
