Pics of my C4S (had to draw the line at 50 shots) :D

Been kindof busy lately, prefering to drive over taking pictures, but finally got them on the web. I tried to pull out the better 50 pics. The weather has been really awful so they are not the greatest..... but if someone likes the C4S there are quite a few shots at different angles. I really love this car! <a href="http://www.jameskettner.com/02c4s.htm" target="_blank">C4S photos (only 50 of them)</a>

Congratulations!! Great car!. Best color for any sports car, especially for the C4S. I have your twin. Well, almost. I have the US version. Thanks for the pics. I've been wondering what the Euro version looked like compared to the US version. It seems ride height is the same, at least in pics. No rear bumper lumps, and 4 dimples. Can't remember off-hand if the spare rim is red in mine. Congratulations again. <img src="graemlins/beerchug.gif" border="0" alt="[cheers]" /> You forgot to take pics of the cupholders!

The car looks amazing!! You've done a great job of capturing the essence of the C4S. I love the dual street/park shots. A couple of the street shots really show the lovely hips of the C4S, when compared to the other more "compact" European models on the street. I've got a C2 and I'm very partial to Arctic Silver as well. Wishing you many miles (err...kilometers) of enjoyment with your baby. Congratulations!! Regards.

!!James ! 10 points on that one! really nice, Does Your car have already the E030 suspension i guess.? you should do some pics in a sunny day, the contrast would be better. <img src="graemlins/beerchug.gif" border="0" alt="[cheers]" /> Tks for share! enjoy driving the Italy great roads!

The standard C4S has the lowered, presumably sport suspension. As described in the literature, the C4S suspension is the TT suspension, with adjustments made for the differences in weight, HP and torque between the TT and the C4S. I don't know if the C4S is in fact M030. There is no M030 in the 2002 C4S option line-up, presumably because it already is the sport suspension. Looking at James' beautiful car, the ride height for the US and Euro C4S appears to be the same. It seems that if I wanted to lower the car, I may have to go to H&R springs. I can't believe the 1 year span between pre-order to delivery!

Dunno why you'd need park assist on a small car like the 911, but not a bad idea if you're constantly parking in tight quarters. Anyway, James she looks good and has a wide-a$$, enjoy it. later, amir <img src="graemlins/bigok.gif" border="0" alt="[thumbsup]" />

THANKS ALL!! Bilstein996C4 I'll post some more when I get the car under some real sun. Then we'll see the contrasts of the Arctic Silver. Palting The C4S is 10mm lower than the normal C4. In Italy (and most of Europe) there is almost no immediate buying of autos. Almost all are ordered. There is at least an 8 month to 1 year wait now for a C4S in Italy. I placed a pre-order for the C4S before Porsche announced it would produce them. My actual final order was placed in September. I guess we have to wait so much because Porsche sends them all to America so they can sit on dealers lots.... Just kidding. I think in America the dealers buy the cars and then resell them, assuming quite a bit of risk. Here in Italy a dealer places the order thus, unless there is a cancellation, there is never any dealer inventory nor risk of not reselling the car.

They were built for carts and chariots and over the years have been adapted for cars. Don't know how anyone drives a Mercedes or BMW, but they somehow seem to do it. Many roads will just accomodate two cars if both ride on the shoulder. This doesn't have much to do with the park-assist, but to give you an idea of the dimensions. Italy is full of tight fitting parking spaces. Most importantly- In order to get my car into the garage at my condo I have to almost touch a cement wall with the rear bumber. Either that or it takes me 2-3 or even 4 continual forward/backward maneuvers to get the car in. Italian garages and parking spaces are made for Fiat Panda's (roughly the size of a golf cart) and not 911's. Nevertheless, I would have never ordered park-assist if the used C2 that I had did not already have it. But it is one of those things that once you have it, you wonder how you ever got along without it. Ahh, I know how I got along without it- I didn't drive around a 911 that I didnt' want to scrape along walls or curbs. Take a look at an example of a LARGE 2-way traffic road. Note the other cars in comparison to the 911. The 911 is the largest car on this street:

Love mine too! I deleted the rear logo and think it really makes the rear even more elegant and sexy.

James, Thanks for the pics and the insight on Porsche ownership in Italy! I don't know if I could wait an entire year without totally loosing it. Four months is long enough! Rest assured, there are very few C4S models languishing on dealer lots here! Congratulations! <img src="graemlins/xyxwave.gif" border="0" alt="[bigbye]" />

Nice Pics! My Artic C4S arrives at the dealer in about a week! Im collecting it on my Birthday!! (in the UK) I can't wait and seeing those pics has driven me into a frenzy all day that my girlfriend is sick of. I'll try and post some when I collect it. Rich
