Default Porsche 911 S?

Ran a guy tonight in a yellow Porsche on I45. As I allowed him to pass me after we ran I saw on the back of his car it appeared to say 911 S on it. I have sceen Porsches that have Turbo S or Carrera S, but never 911 S. Back in the day Porsche made a 911 S, but this one was the newer body style. It was dark so maby I didn`t read it right or he had it custom made to say 911 S. Anyone know if the 911 S is a car that Porsche builds or did I just read it wrong.

52 views and nobody knows about the "911 S"
I`m sure it`s a standard Carera S or somthing. I saw the reply about Paul Newman test driving a so called 2004 911 s, but couldn`t see the emblem on the rear of the car. Anyway I had alot of fun running him. That was the first time I ever had a Porsche start a race with me. I came out on top and I was smiling about it for about a hour. The Porsche driver was laughing after the run and I concider that a good sport. He did want to do the "lets go 185MPH down the freeway thing untill we crash", but I don`t do that, because I pulled him untill around 100 MPh.

Yes, the 911 S is made by Porsche. I ran one before. It's an impressive car on the track, but for straight line performance, give me an LS1.

Thanks, My Road & Track and Motor Trend didn`t show a road test for a 911 S and on top of that my web search didn`t help either.
