Default Pics of new car

I finally took some photos of the new car. I love driving this car. I have E90 M3 that now sits neglected in my garage. The weight of the controls is awesome. It makes the M3 seem over boosted in every respect. The car is in excellent condition. It just needs an updated stereo.

Looks good - not many red ones around as far as I know.

I might lose the wing but that's a personal preference I guess.......

Congrats

Is there any weight difference between a Turbo body and a narrow body?

I think it is about 150-200 lbs if I recall. I used to have a '94 C4 myself. It is a wonderful machine. And it always got a lot of attention from all types of people, not just car enthusiasts. Congrats on your new ride, 1fastcar. And enjoy the (s)miles. Here's what mine looked like without a tail.

Precisely 238 of these special 911 were made for the US market, making it one of the rarest 964 models produced.



1994 should have a R in the vin and M718 opt code.
Why should it have the 718 option code? If it is a US 1994 C4 it should be an R coded car but not necessarily M718 coded to change vin MY from 1993 to 1994. Norbert would know best but these should have been built without the 718 option code and produced as 1994 MY cars.

My turbo weighs in 3120 pounds vs my C2 which weighs in at 3060 both with half tank of gas IIRC the C4's weighed a bit more.

Congrats on the purchase very nice looking car.

Thank you for the comments. I am enjoying the car very much. I am having new a head unit (Alpine CDE-123 with XM and iPOD, and converting the lights from blue to amber) and F/R speakers installed today.

Welcome to the TL club! Terrific looking car and certainly not to many that color! You have a real rarity but I would urge you to drive it early and often. Yes very rare but not to precious to be enjoyed and kept exercised. I put 2,500 miles on mine last year and plan on doing the same this year. Mine was the third to final one ever produced in 1994 and while in my custody will be 100% sorted at all times and driven often. Good luck!
