I've done quite a bit of modding to my lowly base model over the years. I get what you are saying about starting with an S instead of a base. But when I bought my 98 base with full leather interior and aero kit 6 years ago, a bottom of the barrel S was over 5K more than my car. While I wouldn't mind a little more HP, I have driven a few S's. They are not much faster than my car. It could be because of some of the mods i've done such as underdrive pulley, Ben's short shifter, lighter wheels and weight reduction. Or it could be just I got lucky with a strong engine and the S's I drove were kinda beat. Whatever the reason i'm more than happy with the base model I have made one of a kind to my own liking
