Actually, the '03+ S has different (bigger) sway bars than the '03+ Base. Minor detail, I know. Another thing is that the S also comes with a lot of interior bits and pieces standard vs. on the Base where they'd be optional.
I have an S and I still think it could use a lot more power. About 100hp...but more importantly 0.4L more displacement (e.g. the 911's 3.6L motor). .
I agree, I'm all about more power, especially after I got a ride in a Z06. It's acceleration is so powerful I couldn't breath because I was pushed back so hard in the seats. It was truly amazing.

Yes, I have a 1990 ZR-1 in stock right now and it is as fast or perhaps faster than a zo-6 (this one is chipped with flowmaster and 4.11s) .
Anyway, this torque on this car is not be believed. Lots of fun!
The CDN$ issue is a tricky one for both customers and Porsche. The USD has slid significantly. A couple of years ago it was trading at $1.57. Porsche Canada eventually rejigged their numbers when it fell to $1.42. The problem is the currency has been between $1.18 and $1.25 for a long time, so $1.42 looks very expensive - which is why the US cars look so cheap. So for the customer the question is do you think the currency will stay down and how long will it take Porche Canada to reprice? For Porsche Canada the issue is residuals on current leases and the value of cars on the lot. If they suddenly reprice down 10 or 15 % - that's alot to eat. All car manufactuers are facing this to some degree in Canada.
