Now I know you don't like hearing about racing blah blah blah, but as this was on a private road, near Rochester it was ok!!!!

I thought I would share this with other owners for good measure. Caught up with ( I must say as an ex-996 owner a very lovely looking C4S) yesterday, he saw me behind went over the roundabout - heard him change down and then we let rip... Gained on him quite quickly then went past him at about 110mph and then kept on pulling away from him, he gave a well done nod as I went past.

Just a bit of fun!!!

What did you expect?? 996 C4s is 316 bhp in a heavy turbo bodyshell......you have 420..no?

I really would have been suprised if he had put up much of a comparison...

Ex ..serial porsche owner :D

wel i wouldnt have been suprised if it was very close because c4s's put in a 0-100 time in the 10's....same as our audis.

Porsche's have a lower drag co. too. However, i have drafted a C4S in a Volvo T5 [305hp] to a little over 150 on a test track.

Wheel HP and a drag is pretty important beyond 100mph.

The C4S is nearly 200kg lighter though! Me have a burn up Bob..... surely not :)

And we all know deep down ours don't make 414bhp though!!!!
