Motorweek retro review video of 1989 Carrera 4
0-60 in 4.5 seconds
Thought the 964 board would appreciate watching the video, I sure did.

Looks more like a 1990 given both spoiler and differential ***** on the console. Unless that was a running change on the 1989 C4?

Fun video, thanks for sharing! D- I’m not aware of any ‘89 models with the spoiler switch on the console either. Plus airbags were not available in ‘89. Must be a ‘90+

Says it's a 1990 at 1:50 into the video. Review was probably done in 1989 for MY 1990. That stock ride height is like a 4x4! Wish they had the camera rolling when they said they got the C4 sideways. Great video.

What has always struck me about Motorweek reviews was the 60-0 brake test.
Of the 964s they track tested (C2 mit Tip, RSA, C4) all stopped in 112 feet or less. (Even the G-body car recorded a 105 ft stop!)
The 964's stopping distance remained competitive will all 911s through the 997.
I think the current GT3 is in the 90 feet range, at a whole 'nother level (but probably with PCCB and sticky, sticky tires).
Not saying they are the best brakes in the world, but these cars stop very well!
