The turbo and the S share the same brakes. Well, the turbos are red, the S silver paint.
Good point about the turbocharged V8 also having a more robust engine oiling system (piston squirters) although I see a lot of S V8's with well over 200k on the original engine. Mine is at 175k no problems so far.
The biggest "win" for the Turbo, is the high trim level as standard. I was lucky to find full leather and PASM in my S. My wife's is on coils, which really sucks on Seattle roads. Anyway, many, if not most, GTS's you see will not have full leather. (all GTS's PASM)
I prefer the throttle response over the freight-train (delayed) power of the turbos. Perhaps 5% better fuel economy, if that matters.
