Porker C4S

Post by Paul_E » Fri Apr 29, 2005 6:06 pm

Just thought I'd run this by you all, am i a basket case to be considering changing from an RS4 to a Porker C4S. Has anyone else on here changed to this model & since regretted the move. A 996TT would be a more awesome machine but would only be able to afford an early model. Would like something newer!!!
Your comments would be much appreciated
:wink:

Obviously i'm going to say go for the 996TT as I have one!!!

Whether old or new they are all the same (bloody good cars) as long as you get one that's had a bit lovin!!!

Do the Turbo, it's awesome!

Pics of mine tomorrow with the new bumper and wheels.

I have a C4S and a RS4, if one had to go it'd be the RS4, you'll love the Porsche. Mind you the more I tune my RS4 the more it appeals.
Try a 996 Turbo though, I prefer the rawer feel of the C4S and in fact am looking forward to swapping mine for a 997GT3 if all goes well.

I have a C2 (Cab, 964) and I have to say that although the RS4 has quicker acceleration and straight line speed, the Porsche has better deceleration and is altogether a more engaging drive. But, at times it would be nice to be able to hear the music, and I don't mean the mechanical music. They are such different vehicles it's not a fare comparison, but if one had to go it would more likely be the RS4, ... Ask again after a wet or snowy week and you might get a different answer.

Be prepared to pay!!!

Rumour has it that the new 997 GT3 is going to be 10-15k more than the 996 GT3 when new!

Cheers for your comments guys, think I need a couple more test drives in C4S & try a Turbo for good measure. If went down C4S route it would need a sports exhaust to sound something like a Porsche should. FYI my RS4 trade in price for a 2000 52K car with all the toys around 25-26K, thats alot of road presence for the price!!
Hope to make it to one of the northern meets before the deed is done...
