If you're talking 993, as others have said, no difference other than more $$$$. C4S adds Turbo brakes.
Oh snap...

Good catch Tim.

I could have sworn I was viewing the 997 forum. The 6 cyl/8 cyl comment threw me off. I was thinking, HEY, this is not the Cayenne forum. LOL

My bad.

More collectable and unique styling but other than that, not much.
I'm so used to my S that when I see a narrow body car I think I like it more because it is what I don't have. The grass is always greener, you know. And no I don't want to trade.

It was well worth the effort to scroll up and see what you were referencing. Hilarious.

The Carrera S is slower & heavier than the base Carrera. On the bright side the S did have better brakes and had a wider track. It also has a higher resale value. Both are rock solid cars!

You'll get to your office 4 seconds later on the Carrera S, but you'll look good getting there.
But in a 4S ... will out corner you in dry and definitely wet conditions.

The risk os someone going to address his/her bottom onto the rear wider fenders is way higher... they look even more inviting, especially for those who walk in the parking of circuits with very large lize B-side.

The B side never lies, not even in contexts where hypocrisy is the only important rule, so much that being unable of lieing becomes a capital crime.
Be careful what you desire...
