996 gt2 vs 996 turbo s

so turbo s isnt really worth the extra money? except the ceramic brakes and increased power does it have any other important upgrades ? dont think those extra 30 PS make a big difference..

Having the X50 option, on either a standard turbo as an option, or on the S bundled on, is worth having.
You do notice the difference.
The bigger turbos, better intercoolers and modified gearbox, are also useful if you plan to upgrade it later.

The ceramics are not worth having really.
They are just too damn expensive for a consumable item.

If you really want more stopping power, you are better off following the GT3 boys and getting some 6 pots with some better discs. I believe the Alcons are well though off, and with no holes in them, are not prone to cracking.
