Back to back drive S to non S.... Soooo?? See some conclusions
My car S with some mods -see below-. My friends non S totally stock.
S with mods, 2004, 55,000 mls. Non S, stock, 2003, 33,000 mls -Brakes, about the same. I need to change my brake fluid ASAP! My pedal felt softer compared to my friends car, fresh fluid makes a difference! - Shifter, I have the "standard" 997, his is stock, BIG difference! Long throws to much shorter. Sloppy to snappy. :) effort about the same. - clutch, mine felt a bit stiffer. Pick up point about the same. - Shocks/springs, we both have the stock setup. Mine felt def older, time to rebuilt/service. - Wheels, I have the 17" , his 18" and that makes a difference. I prefer the 17" setup since it feels lighter and less harsh. With the spacers I use turn in is same. I still am convinced that the strut brace makes a difference as well, just feels sharper. -General, it's only me but I like the black cluster better than the white background in the S. Also, my friends car had no door sill plates? Other than that everything else seems to be equal. -Engine, well, huge difference. When driving back to back it is very obvious that mine is just simply so much more powerful in every respect. And with that said the non S is still a very fun car to drive! But having a choice when looking for a car go for an S, no question! My friend who drove my car came back with a big grin on his face.... And said "what a difference" Oh, and both cars had the 3,200 rpm vibration......2nd gear slowing down. So there, a lot we knew already but for me it was fun and informative to compare. Later, Andy |
Yeah, I drove several of both cars when I was shopping around and the big difference is definitely in the engine/power department - especially between an early 2.5L and the 3.2L.

With the difference of the 2.7 to the 3.2, just think with a 3.4, 3.6 or a 3.8!!, someday.:cheers:

What's behind the 3200 rpm vibration? Never heard about this before...
Worn front motor mount? |
