no matter what you believe, the S can outrun and out perform the 2.7. So what's there to like more about the 2.7?

Sorry, it depends more on the driver than the car. The performance between the base and S is too close to call. Go to your local bookstore, pick up a copy of Road & Track magazine and look at their road test summary. The difference in 0 - 60 between the base and S is just .3 seconds. It's a toss up.
A driver with track experience and practice in launch starting will beat you in a base 0 - 60 than you in your S, (unless you too have launch starting/track experience). An expert driver in a Honda Accord EX V6 will beat the average S driver 0 - 60.
