There is also one in Chicago.

That's too bad. The only criticism I've ever heard of the 964C4 had nothing to do with reliability, only driving feel. Some people would actually prefer the way the C4 feels compared to the C2, but unfortunately, not Bruce Anderson and quite a few other racer-types. But most owners are not the racer-types, and many live in climates with snow & ice. For that, the 964C4 should be praised, not ridiculed.

I enjoyed your 964 Web site.

When you sell the C4, what are you going to replace it with? A C2?

First baby on the way...so I "was" going to the dark side and get a BMW M3

A baby seat fits very nicely in the rear seats of a 964

My 7 year old still finds it plenty big enough, too.

jjbunn, when did your 7 year old start using the rear seat belt without the car seat? I assume that's what you do now. Did you use a booster seat in between the car seat and the belt?

jjbunn

Since I've had the car ... mid last year. I did use a booster seat for a couple of trips, but then I checked the fit of the belt without it, and it was better. I think she is also very close to the minimum weight for dispensing with the booster seat, and she's tall for her age

Whoa! I LIVE in Edmonton, and I didn't know that. Any idea what the name of the AWD dyno company is? I'd dearly love to get a reading on my 964.

That stinks, he was obviously misinformed and better to buy a Honda with a warranty.


On a recent 5 hour plane flight I was bored and looked at the wiring issues of converting a C2 to C4, and it's neat that the process is actually quite simple thanks to Porsche's wiring. By purchasing a C2 ABS unit and the plug cut from a C2's harness, it is quite easy to remove the PDAS plug on the C4 and splice in the C2 ABS plug to the proper wires. That would permit the use of a C2 ABS brain with all functionality. After plugging off the hydraulic accumulator feed to the solenoid block, the extra C4 stuff can be removed: accelerometers, control unit, dash switch, PDAS solenoid block and all hydraulic lines to the transmission. Remove the tranny, drive shaft, front differential and CV's, and just plug in a 2wd 5 or 6 speed tranny and change the front axles - complete! It always seemed hard to manage the electronics, but it's not.
