What are the visual differences between the S and the normal 911 after the facelift. I know that the exhausts are different. Is there anything else? I find them identical from the front.
The S has a little bit larger wheel arches, and give a more sporty impression than the normal 911. Differences are also in the engine (more horsepower for the S) and minor settings for the drive train.
Also, the S has red brake calipers (Base 911 has yellow). Base rides on smaller standard rims (18inch) v/s the S which has 19 inchers. S has quad tailpipes, whilst base has dual. Front is the same. If you wanted to, you can easily make the base look like a true S.
Depending on the wheels, there is no difference in the width of the car between a S and a non-S.
There are only two differences between a S and a non-S 911:
1) The S has the electronic shocks and is a bit lower that a non-S that has the standard shocks. The difference is only about an inch, but to the trained eye, it is noticeable.
2) The exhaust is different as others have stated.
The main difference between the S and non-S other than the engine is the standard options that come with the S and are options on the non-S.
So depending on the options, a non-S can be made to look like a S except for the exhaust.
The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it’ll do even better in those areas, but for now it’s a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod’s strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.

I’ll gear this review to 2 types of people: current Zune owners who are considering an upgrade, and people trying to decide between a Zune and an iPod. (There are other players worth considering out there, like the Sony Walkman X, but I hope this gives you enough info to make an informed decision of the Zune vs players other than the iPod line as well.)
Between me and my husband we’ve owned more MP3 players over the years than I can count, including Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the last few years I’ve settled down to one line of players. Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) Zunes are.

Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass’ favor.

if you buy a car based on the way it looks, you are an idiot.
the s has more power, the suspension is firmed up dramatically, and it is a higher top speed.
basically if you’re having you’re midlife crisis and you just want a 911 to make you feel young, that’s what the normal carrera is for.
if you want a serious driving/racing porsche, then that’s what the carrera s is for.
Carrera S is a bit wider, has different front bumper, more HP and torque.
This website tells you all the differences:
