He told me the difference between the S and the LE was it had a racing engine from a lotus elise (it is a derivative of that engine...note: a derivative) and it has the same quarter mile as a 911 Carrera S (he told me around 13.2 seconds). When I was looking to purchase the Si, the salesman said there is no performance difference between the Mugen and the standard Si and it would not be worth my while putting in 8 grand for enhancements I can purchase for much cheaper on my own. It all depends on how old you are, and what kind of car you pull up in. My response to dumb ass dealers is to never come back.
