No, standard turbo or even 4s look better.

I love it...

But then i see dozens of 996s every day so the modified ones really appeal...

For pure looks the 996 C4S is the winner for me.

Though the GT2, turbo, and especially the turbo with aerokit look the business and very aggressive.

Been lucky enough to have owned both, but think there is something about C4S that looks cleaner and nearer to its original heritage.

C4S
I have had a C2, C4S & Turbo, and while the Turbo is the best car, I still think the 4S looks better.I am not actually a fan of the large spoiler or the vents, functional as they are.
My ideal would be C4S Looks & turbo performance !

Yes, I must admit the side intakes on the 996 look a bit tacky. I think they should be part of the wing as on the 993 Turbo S. Using inserts makes it look like a bodykit add-on.

Also, are they really required? The 993 turbo whetherin standard 408bhp, 430bhp or 450bhp doesnt seem to need them and look all the better with an unbroken wing profile.

Sorry but .

With 911's, less is definitely more. Agree with those above, standard turbo or C4S is hard to beat.

C2 for me.less is more and all that. Don't like the frontend on the Turbo/C4S.
