I do believe it actually stands for Shame you can't all have one of these too but unfortunately there aren't enough for you all to have one. Sorry! Guess that you will just have to settle for your more common NBs and leave the WBs to those that appreciate them.

No, no...it definitely means Super, Sporty, Sexy and Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious. That's why they are very desirable and command the price premium to match.
Cabs are very heavy (pretty sure the heaviest of the NA 993s) and they have more flex so theoretically the slowest too but I bet neither you or I could tell the difference.
My first 993 was a cab. I really miss open top cruising. Enjoy yours in good health and let us S freaks pay the premiums.

My cab serves a different purpose than a coupe would for me, they are apples and oranges. And if I had a coupe, of course I would love to have an "S". But I rib you "S" guys simply over the premiums you pay. If I wanted a 911 varient that was rare and modernish, I personally would go with 964 RS America. But that's me....
