Sorry for the low quality iPhone photo... I'll post some higher quality photos once it warms up a little and I can properly detail the car.
I just spent the last 2-1/2 days on a cross country drive in the 996. Picked it up in the Los Angeles area and drove it to northern Indiana.
It's funny - I've read all the comments about the 996 not being as "connected to the road" as the 993, etc. All I can say is - that's BS! This is a great road car! After driving a Cayenne S as my DD, the 996 feels
very
connected to the road. 3 days into 996 ownership, I'm very happy.
For those of you who are concerned about such things, you'll notice that the pumpkins are already gone...
I actually looked at a Speed Yellow C4S with black interior and yellow stitching... gotta love that combo too.
We got to know each other a bit over the last couple of days... it was all good, but I'm glad to be home.
Just took the wife for a ride (in the car - driving - you perverts)... she was pleased with the purchase. She's taking the Cayenne now, and she is quite pleased about that.
Yeah the 996 is a great road trip car. Comfortable, fast, and "connected". I've driven back and forth across the country several times and it's always a fun experience.
beautiful.... I remember my drive home with the 996 (GA->NJ).... through the blue ridge mountains. Anyway, love the natural leather. Leather package?...... enjoy in good health.
Yep... full leather... I really like it.
The bolster on the driver's seat is a little worn... I'd like to touch it up if possible, but overall it's very good.
I love the torque this car has in 5th and even 6th gear.
I can't wait to drive it again tomorrow.
Congrats - wonderful vintage!
The 4s is certainly a car that will continue to impress you. I just took a spirited drive in mine yesterday, even after having it for a year, I still feel like I have not gotten close to exploring it's limits.
More pics! More pics!
No doubt, for long distance trips I will take my 996 over any of my other, well maybe my 997 as well. Welcome to the club, you drove the car enough miles to really enjoy the heck out of it. Something about these cars that captures a part of you that makes you want to drive the car for no reason than sheer pleasure.
HAD HAD HAD....ah life was great a little while ago...driving along in my Lapis Blue Porsche 996 stick......ah life ...how fast times change
Sorry Tim couldn't help it
Dennis,
Welcome to the 4S club. I think you will like it here.
Now that you already took care of the pumpkins, may I suggest the DIY MkI muffler mod, and a BMC F1 free flow air filter (I'll give you a good deal on mine if you want).
I actually had Walter's Porsche of Riverside, CA change the pumpkins out as soon as the car passed the PPI. Sooo... I have never actually driven it with the pumpkins in place.
Nice colors....and, yes, it really is a good road car. I've liked the torque, feel and ergonomics of the 996 so-o-o much better than the 993. Good luck with it.
