Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I previously owned a C2 996. I have never 'come back' to a car before - so the 911 is a first for me. I want to ensure that I get that loving feeling again - and thought initially that I should go for the 'next one up' rather than feeling like I am putting a favourite old pair of shoes back on.
In reality - I loved the C2. And rumour has it that the C4S is not quite as quick with not quite so much feeback through the wheel. Now I am not a real hand - so doubt I would notice it in the real world.
Anyone had experience of owning both in the past and any thoughts as to which is truly the doggies danglies?

in 996 spec the C4S is much more, almost everything but a TT although a few agrue it just holds a bigger dress for the same car as the C2
then it comes down to the wider body 4wd verses 2wd
note - one for the 996 forum.. moved !

I tried various 996s before going for a C4S... a few observations;
- the performance is so similar as you wouldn't notice
- the handling on road is great. I can't speak for the track, but on the road the extra security of 4wd is a good thing, and it gives the steering a lovely weighty feel with oodles of feedback. I dare say the trackmeisters would say the 2wd makes a standard car more tweakable around track corners, but thats a compromise I'm happy to take for not driving through the hedge on a wet winter evening!
- I personally love the "J-Lo" rear styling of the 4S, with the rear relector, and the turbo wheels/brakes.
- the whole car has a 'sorted' feel that goes far beyond just a C4 with a turbo body. The suspension for example is specific to this car, and not just the Turbo chassis or normal C4 chassis.
As Evo magazine put it in 2002 "C4S- the best 911 in the current range"

Performance wise - you will probably be able to drive the C4S quicker, down to the 4WD. Looks wise, the C4S is also a winner for me. A fine looking car indeed.
(I have a C2 by the way!)

Depends if you need room up front !!
I play in a band and with the surprisingly big boot on the C2 is very useful rather than the little box on the C4S (&Turbo)
