It just does everything right.

I must agree, however it's not about the seats. I also have an '08 base Corvette and while the seats in the Porsche (standard full power, supple leather) are more comfortable, the car itself has a more jarring ride over bumps, is noisier (road and wind), and the steering is twitchier. Probably the 997.2 and definitely the 991 are improved in the long-distance game. I'm talking straight interstate driving. On twisty roads I'd probably prefer the Porsche, but there aren't any of those in my state other than on a track.

For those of you considering a 997, aside from the increased torque of the 3.8 over the 3.6, the S having PASM and this solution being available from TPC is reason enough to spend the extra money for the S.
