If it were me, this would be my thought process:

Unless you are trying to be competitive...who cares about an extra couple of horsepower? Both cars are way faster than 95% of what's on the street, and are set up and powerful enough to be entertaining on back roads and on the track.

When buying a used car, for me, consideration #1 is always history and condition...especially when the 2 cars you mention are so closely matched in performance (i.e., not like you're looking at a newer boxster vs. a beat-on turbo).

Based on the above I'd go with the C4...lower risk to costly repairs and you won't miss the extra stuff in the S. FWIW when I bought my carerra, I had the ability to buy a high miles 930 with a well documented but extensive track history and I went with the carerra because of the thought process above.

All of that said...of course you'll be happy with either!
