2005 911 turbo S vs GT2 vs 04 x50

Seeing the different engine outputs and torque/hp curves could some one enlighten me as to the key differences btween the three motors and suspension set ups.

I am aware of drive/ electronic/ brake diffs already.

The Turbo S is an X50 with PCCBs, green window tint and painted wheels. It doesnÃ‚Â´t even have a sportier setup.

If you like RWD there is no question here, GT2, there are so many great deals on them out there, tough to pass up.

Two questions:

why then does the X50 have a higher peak output but a thinner torque/hp curve? Is it possible they have tuned some of the lag out but it has cost them peak output.

Wouldn't the 50% cut in brake weight translate to a higher effective spring rate than the x50 with standard brakes?
