I am sure not much difference in the specs, but more to consider than saying to just buy a base and save your money. You get more car buying an S, S peed tranny, bigger breaks, and more HP. Also because there are less S versions they appear to be holding resale value better. Thats my point, you just can’t say save your money and buy a base, just more to consider.

I weight ratios S to base is 2855 pounds vs 2777 less than 100lb larger moto and breaks most likely difference. Gain is much better breaking and more cubic inches.

Not saying base isnt a nice car just making statements for someone looking, should point out the differences.
