You guys should post over on the 968 boards if you want to know more about these cars. Raj Datta has built a 968 Turbo RS clone using mostly authentic parts and knows WAY more about these cars than is probably healthy, and is always happy to talk about them.

From what i have read the 968 turbo RS is the single overhead cam motor with 337hp with the restrictor plate, they say if it was removed its supposed to make a little over 450hp. The 968 turbo S is the DOHC motor not sure on numbers but i do have a link for a 968 turbo RS for sale not sure if it is still for sale though(PS it is in the US so legalizing it might not be that hard but i beleive it is a track only car)[http://www.968.net/classifieds/classifieds.htm] it is the one right at the top

That car is the freak. As Sir Peter said I would take the 305hp rating with a grain of salt. In fact all Porsches seem to be lowballed about 3-5% from the factory in terms of output and performance numbers. Porsche engineers have the worst 0-60 times in the world for our cars.

Honda's Vtec works off a dual profile cam and actually varies the cam to pulley alignment. as was said before the vario cam of the 968 onlyvaries the intake cam timing Via the chain tensioner.
