The S isn't a necessity. I have a nationwide search on Autotrader, Cars.com and Cargurus for 2017 - 2019 911 Cabs w/ a manual and am willing to check out anything under $100k. I'm also checking the pre-owned porsche.com site, PCA classifieds, Rennlist, 6-sp online and the PCARMARKET auctions. This blue one is the best I've seen since the BAT Auction, which I still look longingly at often. That car was perfect. Pickings have been really slim.

This one just happens to be good colors, good options and an S at a low side of market price (I think because of the miles). i wouldn't kick an S or a C4 out the door, but I am not limiting my search to those.

In the 991.2 the base and the S are both 3.0 flat sixes with twin turbos. Supposedly the S has very slightly larger turbos, but you can get very close to S power with a tune (if that's your thing).
