Agreed, the base vs S discussion has been played out for far too long. For 30 hp and larger brakes you also get more weight to negate any gains. Again, on average, a base will cost less to purchase, and the specs simply are not that far apart, sorry there're just not. Talk to Porsche who built them not me. You are very correct, faster is a relative term. The only way to really quantify is via specs or timed runs like in an AX. I know, I know, a lot of variables. But even averaged over several runs S's DO NOT win these events. Look to miata's, civic si's, Ford Focus, etc. I'll get off my box now.
