997c4s

anyone had a go in one yet?

Yeah been driving one all morning round Millbrook. had my Porsche Driving experience session today.
The C4s feels same as C2S but with better pull away traction, better brakes and slightly heavier front end. Oh and slightly wider ass.

only drove the 4S at Millbrook

Doesn't the 997 C4S lap the nurburgring faster than the C2 ?

Rump.

So they say.
But I bet on a different way it would have been the other way round.
There is practically zero difference.

By the way the clutch is definitly lighter on the 4S - don't know why. 4S feels more relaxed and easier to drive whereas 2S more pure sports.

I drove the C2S the other day, was very nice to drive and very well settled even on a wet day with greasy roads. I would be interested to drive a 4S to see how good it is in comparison and if its worth the extra money?

WOW Love my new 4S
Traction is incredible in the rain.
Ordered the new Carrera Sport Wheels but for some reason the factory changed it to Sport Design's - never mind I like them.

Black Full Leather
Rear Park Assist
Electric Sunroof
Sport Exhaust
Sport Chrono Package Plus
Coloured Wheel Centres
Heated Seats
Sports Seats
Porsche Crest on Seats
Bose
CD Autochanger
PCM SAT NAV
19" Sport Design Wheels (had ordered new Carrera Sport Wheel)
Top Tint Windscreen


A lot of posters seem to advise against the 4WD but the wider hips really look awesome and the extra traction in slippery conditions is really noticeable when pulling out of junctions quick and of course the 4 has the "Electronic Brake Prefill" and "All Wheel Brake Assist" which are extra benefits not found on the 2WD version. I think the extra cost of the 4WD is better value than the extra cost of the Cab.

Girlfriend has now had her 4s cabrio now for a week and i've driven it a couple of hundered miles and i have to say its fantastic one of the best all round cars i've driven for a while. Her previous car was a 996 4 cabrio.

we had a 997C4S and my C2S at Vmax yesterday - just 2mph in it and the guy who passengered in both/drove the C4S semmed to think there was very little in it - suspect you'd need a very wet track and a lot more twisties to see the C4S ahead
