So this guy is driving a 993 at what appears to be its limits (or at his limits)...but 45 seconds into the video, that made me smile
Lol cheers! :-D :-D (Still much love for the 993 tho! I'm looking to add one to the stable soon. Just thought this video was funny)

That guys has a bunch of videos of him beating on that 993 on circuits. He definitely gets his money's worth out of that car.

I'm not sure if it's a setup issue or a setup preference, or maybe driving style, but judging from his videos the car likes to rotate and he's always catching big slip angles.

It helps that he's driving an AWD 993. I don't know if he would be as cavalier with the slip angles if he was driving a C2.

Really? I've seen a lot of his vids. Didn't know it was a C4. Always thought it was a standard C2

It's a C4, no wonder, those things are slower than a 3 legged turtle.

Vandit, what happened to your C2? I thought I saw your car with temp plates on it at Plano CarsNCoffee Saturday.

I rather sit in a 964 watching a 993 than in a 993 watching a 964!

Man- really makes me want to re-gear my c2 even more! What a difference in 2-5 with short gears. You can hear that 6th is stock.

Dude in 993 can't drive. Sorry.

Drama does not equal speed.
