The biggest difference I noticed when test driving both back to back was the N55 being better suited for driving around the city. The low end torque was more noticeable to me. The S55 shines in the upper RPM range, which is hard to consistently take advantage of when just driving around town.

So my personal thoughts are, if you are going to track the car, get the Comp. if you won't be then get the N55 because you'll be wasting money on an engine you can't really take advantage of.

Also the N55 exhaust sounded way better to my ears, but sound is subjective.

In the end, for me, the extra $10k for a comp didn't really make sense. Not that I'd be unhappy owning one, they are both fantastic cars. You can't go wrong with either one!
