Default Question re: 996 series c4s

Thanks to a recent job change (for the better) I am considering picking up a c4s.

This would be a weekend fun and DE car.... What should I be looking for? Any years better or worse?

What are the watch-outs?

Thanks in advance!

Go on over to the 996 Forum......we're lowly torsion bar chassis cavemen. (Though many of us here do have vertical 911 collections. )

That said, educate yourself on the M96 engine in the normally aspirated, non-GT3 996s.

Bottom line is that IF you've settled on a 996 widebody, a Turbo is very reasonably priced in the market today.
