A half second in the 1/4 mile is an eternity.
Your argument is like saying since a 3 liter turbodiesel gets better mileage than a 1.8 liter gasoline four cylinder that all larger engines are more fuel efficient than all smaller engines. It's just not a valid logical argument.
If you like the 5-speed better than the 6-speed, fine. Wo are we to argue that. But your personal opinion isn't scientific fact so please stop arguing as if it was.

No no no that's not what I said that's what the Lux (pro-S troll) said. What I said was an expert driver with practice on launch starts ,with far less driving experience than Schumacher, can beat your average S driver. On the other hand that same expert driver in his base couldn't beat the average 997S or 996 GT3 driver.
The point is, the performance difference between the base and S is negligible and depends more on the driver than the car. On the other hand the performance difference between the base/S and a 997S or GT3 is significant and any weakness in the driver can be made up by the clear and prodigous performance advantage of the 997S or GT3.
There's no such clear advantage of the S over the base. It's a toss up. It depends on the driver. There's no such dependence on the driver with the base/S vs. 997S/GT3 example. Any joe schmoe in a 997S or GT3 can beat the best driver in the world in a base/S 0 - 60.
