Base vs S - weight

[mikefocke]

The S is more than engine difference

For example on the 2000:
3.2Litre engine 250 HP, increased valves sizes.

6 speed manual trans, 5 speed Tiptronic optional.

Larger brakes.

Stronger wheel bearing carriers,larger bearings, longer control arms.

Larger 17” standard wheels.

Additional front radiator grill.

Left and right radiator inlets titanium.

Twin exhaust tailpipes.

Door sill trim.

Silver look trim in door pulls, lid openers, instrument bezel trim.

3-spoke steering wheel

Cloth headliner and changes to the top mechanism.

Subwoofer speaker system option.

Popular options grouped into packages.

Mike, I know about those differences (I posted that topic earlier). I want to know in what way those base/S differences affect the car - weight, handling, sound, engine smoothness, etc.
