Below is a link to the website . I simply took one aspect --the body and underlined and highlighted the differences . There are many other differences ranging from HP to brakes and wheel size .

The "S" is the more powerful car. Look side by side too. It's a great clip IMO.

stevenshin is infamous around these parts
Exhaust is different (at least the tips are), Intake is different (S has a resonator?), instrument panel is black on 997 and white on 997S, calipers are red on 997S... I think that's it?
