All I know is if you look at the 0 to 60 times - they are negligible. So I don't get how the S is so much faster, when in reality, it isn't. I guess the extra horsepower in the S is negated a bit by the extra weight of the S? (Bigger engine = more weight)
But you do get some extra fancy bits in the S.
Anyways, there is a bit more room in the 987 - but you are entering another price point.
Either way - the Boxster is THE roadster to get. That is the one thing we do agree on here! :-)

0-60 means little. Hanging ones hat on this is really trying to focus on one detail that this car wasn't even built for. Drop from 5-4 and stomp on it. The S has more low end torque. And it has power all the way to 7200. Bigger calipers and rotors. Suspension. 6 speed. The S easily had enough options besides HP to convince me to go S or none.
