Purchased a Bassalt Black 996 C4S with Boxter Red interior yesterday. Really looking forward to it being ready for collection smile

Specced as follows:-

Air conditioning/climate control, Full extended leather pack including vents & speakers, Turbo bodied coupe with Turbo suspension & brakes, 18" Turbo II alloys, PSM Stability/traction control, 6 speed manual, Four wheel drive, Colour coded carbon backed sports seats, Heated seats, Porsche crested headrests, Electric windows, Electric heated mirrors, Electric seats, Rear wiper, Rain sensors, On board computer, Aluminium centre tunnel, Aluminium centre console, Aluminium gearlever & handbrake, Rear park sensors, Litronic headlights, Suede headlining, Top tinted windscreen, Bose digital surround sound system, Alpine CDE 126BT i-pod & CD player with Bluetooth phone prep, CD storage, Porsche security system, Tracker.

I used to hace a 996 C2 and always wanted a C4S so really pretty excited! I will post some photos when I have it.

A lot of people will not like the interior colour but I love it. I have had grey and beige forever so something a little different is nice and fits with my personality smile

I have no idea about the gundo hack, oettle bypass or hayward scott so will go and do some research!!

Still have the 328 for the weekends and the Alfa although it has a knackered engine and is terminal sadly as I loved that car frown

Ok - done the research on the funny names smile

I will stick with the standard exhaust I think as I purposefully wanted a car with out PSE. I live in a residential area and leave early for work and don't want to be a social PITA!

My Ferrari has a sports exhaust which is wonderful, but it is so loud that I am a bit uncomfortable leaving for an early sunday morning hoon!

The more "powerfully built" members on here will make disparaging remarks, but I think you've made an excellent choice. Stil enjoying/ exploring the envelope of mine 18 months into ownership.

Best looking 996. I was lucky enough to have one for 3 years. Need a pse or hack to make the noise, stock sound was poor. Good luck with the car

...and another new C4S owner here. After 4 weeks ownership I am early in the learning curve as it feels so much faster than my old 3.2 911.

Its all about power to weight - luckily some have both! Nice of you to assume I didn't mean shocks! That's why my passenger limit is 25kg!
