Default Old Total 911 Article on c2 vs c4 964

Does anyone have this old article handy? -- came across this:

https://www.total911.com/porsche-964...-vs-carrera-4/

but there is no way to get back issues, nor is there a way to get a download of the article, even for a fee.

Am sure someone out there has the article or the back issue (#133)

Thanks

As a C4 fan boy I was expecting the C2 to be put up on the pedestal but that’s the first article I’ve read which describes my thoughts exactly. Point to point in the real world I’m quicker in a C4 than I would be in a C2.

Thanks for sharing, great article. I myself had the pleasure of driving both and on the street didn't feel a diff except the C4 seeming more "planted" and a tad bit heavier than the C2 (but that may have also been in my head) , i did take my C2 to Angeles crest HWY twisties but never got to take a C4...yet. C4 are starting to really get the respect they deserve, you can see it reflected in their current climbing market prices as well, gap is closing between both C2 & C4.

John and Tarek, my sentiments exactly. The C4 can be cured of it's inherent understeer with a few basic mods and a different approach in driving style. I have been very happy wit mine and wouldn't trade it for a C2.

But you have to to some mods that C4 is almost as good as C2 without mods.

Had owning both, C4 doesn't have anything better than C2. Well except accelerate in the snowy road.

There was an article in Australian 'Wheels' Magazine comparing the two back in the day. Here it is in images...
