I see now how pretty the vanilla 996 is. I get it. It's a lovely looking thing. I just can't, however, see it as a 911. I've owned 911s of many different flavours and the only one I didn't gel with was the 996 C4S. I'm not saying it's not a good car, especially at this price point, but it's not and never will be a 911. A great rear-engined sportscar, but that's it.
Never driven a C4S, pretty though it is the AWD & extra 150ish kg's put me right off. Have you driven a C2 manual?
