Thats true BUT that difference could be three tenths. So the difference between the fastest S and the slowest X could be over half a second and thats a BIG difference.

The difference between the slowest S and the fastest X could be the same.

This is a bullsh!t argument.
Read the question on the title of this thread.... Does the S feel faster than the X.

That's the only thing we're discussing here.

If you talk about a straight line, the X would take off faster, for high end speeds I have no idea. S is just different suspension, speed sensitive wheels, paddle shifters, driver seat has the adjustable racing sides for middle back and legs, part of the seat slides out 2 inches for more support. That's really the only difference, that and the ride quality at times. But for acceleration, it's the same engine different type of drive. Depends what you want. Also keep in mind that your tires may all wear down faster and your gas millage may be horrible. =(

Sorry, I thought I was pretty clear.

Folks, let's keep this thread on-topic and relevant, vs emotional commentary re others' posts (am not singling anyone out).
