Turbo

Can't help with color choices. You'll be the one buying it, driving it, looking at it. This must be your decision and yours only

Do you mean 2013, as the 2012's are already out AFAIK, and are still showing 400HP. And where did you see something about a 40HP increase?

Long term issues?

Permanent laugh lines on face.
Boost addiction.
Chronic high speed passing.
Epiphanic mumbling in presence of machine.
Loss of interest in anything else.

that about says it all. a friend of mine owns an S and he's literally smashing his head every time we ride in my CT-S

That driver spiked the test. He hit every apex with the P!g, and less than half with the 911.

That said, you want a turbo if you have the coin.

Mike, the 40hp increase comes from coming from a 05 S going to the 12 S, although it maybe more like a 60hp increase as the 05 S was a about 340hp if memory serves.
