I don't get why it being a -4 matters unless you live in the Rockies and are putting snow tires on it.

The Carrera 4 is distinctly different than the 2. You don’t need to drive in snow to appreciate the difference. I’ve driven a 4 in AX and DE, and it has advantages and disadvantages over the 2. The 4 will pull you out of trouble when the 2 will merely exacerbate the problem. But the 2 can turn on a dime in the right hands. And the 4 in the rain is a huge advantage.

So lots of good reasons to want a 4, even if you live in Florida.

For sure. One could argue it's a better balanced car compared to the C2. The extra features like standard LSD, 4-channel ABS, and ABD make it appealing. I believe the brakes are upgraded over the 2 as well even on the non-S. I know my C4 has silver brakes compared to a C2 that has the black brakes. But that may also be a function of also having ABD, not sure. I know in the 993 generation it goes black > silver > red > yellow in terms of brakes going up the model line.

Thank you for the information and advice. I will put a WTB out there and see what comes up. Just wanted to ensure I wasn’t asking for something that didn’t exist.

Thanks again,

Alas the only difference between C2 and C4 brakes is paint.

Thanks for the clarification.

Is it the same for the red and yellow?
