Thumbs up thoughts on my new 993 c4s

I know....u all want pics....I will take pics this w/e and post.

My 1st thoughts:

Getting in and hearing the clunk of the door makes me feel like I am in a solid car. Cranking it up and feeling the car shake a little, gave me goosebumps. The sound of the throttle is like music...and no MSP either.
Looking back at it after parking feels great. tHE RESPONSE OF THE throttle and brakes and sterring, make for a go-cart feel...like my old corrado, but better.

4th gear at 4K RPM and punch the pedal....wow
the hug of the sport seats...wow
The sound......sick
The smell...amazing
watching the polar silver change colors througout the day...priceless

it was fun trying to find the gaz door release **** at the gas station...not obvious.

I know why they put the stereo so far fr thr driver...to discourage usage
I know why u guys do the key conversion now...."I cant find the hole in the dark"

I have to say that my expectations were definately met. I took the day off today and drove everywhere.....well worth it. I will continue posting my thoughts throughout the w/e.

The seller "Joe" is a gentleman and it was a smooth transaction.
Thank all u guys for asking my pre-purchase questions......theres a lot more to come.

I'M IN LOVE..............

Take it sideways around a few corners. A C4 (S in your case) is a blast once you get the hang of how it handles sideways. Get down on it and let it fly!!

You bought Polar Silver-cool. Do yourealize they Polar Silver in a 96 C4S is the slowest and the least HP vehicle made by Porsche? Ask any Polar Silver owner-they know. :-)

This is true for the 96s Polar Silver cars. In '97, Polar Silver was a $3,000 option. To justify the up-charge, the factory gave the '97 Polar Silver cars even more power than the GP White cars.

Pleased that you finally scored on a C4S . Now, you can redirect all that energy you put into the hunt towards the next mandatory step ..... modifications ....

Your thoughts echo mine when I first purchased my c4s. Enjoy and be grateful. They're not making any more of 'em!
