OT, nice one, How does such 993 4 drives/feel, I mean sporty and steering stuff, compared to say a carrera 4 964 ,
which I found a bit 'dull' compared to the carrera 2 which I then bought at the time.
also, does a 993 4S (wider version) drives the same-ish as a 993 4 ?
I had 3 993s - a ‘94 C2, a 95 C2 (both bought new to my spec) and a ‘97 C4 Varioram (bought pre-owned).which I found a bit 'dull' compared to the carrera 2 which I then bought at the time.
also, does a 993 4S (wider version) drives the same-ish as a 993 4 ?
IMO the C4 was the best. Very nicely balanced, with a more responsive front end and more direct turn-in.
The 964 C4 had different early awd technology, and I also felt it to be a bit disappointing with more understeer.
Limited experience of the wide-bodied 993s. Did quite a few miles in a 993 Turbo, but wasn’t really my cup of tea - preferred the NA power delivery and softer chassis of the lighter narrow bodied cars.
I have a c4, and have driven several c2/c2s when swapping around with friends on trips to the Welsh valleys. Putting them through their paces on proper roads, I didn't notice any major difference between 2 and 4 wheel drive and I couldn't have tried harder!
If anyone is in the market just buy the best example you can find: forget about 2/4 wheel drive and varioram too. All IMHO of course.

Do you have plans for it OP? Feels like a perfect euro road trip car...
its been used for 'making progress' across Dartmoor and Exmoor recently. It feels better after each proper drive.I've done a couple of 500 round trips in the UK, no plans for Europe at the min as life is getting in the way.
