Honestly where the S really feels different is on the highway. The torque difference is why the car feels different.
The 2.5 has a lower red line but revs quicker making it feel roughly as fast.
I had a 99 2.5 tip with the base of all base model 16 inch wheels. That actually made for a very fun go kart like experience.
I now drive a 3.2 S with turbo twists and a 6 speed. The S is quicker, you get more of a push back in your seat sensation, you find yourself being rather illegal anytime you wind out third gear.
However, the 2.5 does have a fun factor with how you can just floor it and let it rev which outside of Gs and what the speedometer says, does feel a bit more quick, particularly 0-50 or so.
I think the two cars are a lot more then a base and a S same as how a Boxster is a lot more then a budget 911.
The cars have different feels from one another. However, one may not be worse then the other.
