Default 1996 THRU 1998 C/C4/S/4S/ HAS THE EXACT ENGINE

HI
I BOUGHT THE C4 COUPE INSTEAD OF S BODY..2 " WIDER ON EACH SIDE
they all have the same engine 282 HP....put the chip etc..etc..
these prices will only go up...not down...great value in the future
money in the bank...

if the S model had more HP I might have bought that
C4 IS A 4 WHEEL DRIVE LIKE THE T/T TURBO

these PORCHES are bullet proof..u can beat them up...FAST as the
................. 928 S4......... &....... FERRARI 430

the black ones are the fastest.

95 VS 96-98, C2 vs C2S vs C4 vs C4S all have their positves and negatives,

dont be afraid to use the search buttons, there has been plenty of discussions about this. lots of reading to do.

above all support the Renn, become a member

Where do you get your information?

The C4 is a narrow body car and unlike the 997 which on the C4 configuration is a wide body. As a narrow body car its identical to the C2. The S version used the Twin Turbo body and was wider.
Furthermore chipping a 96 is a different story than a 97/98 and 95.

I would agree with you that the C4 is a great value, low production and a great car at that.

Default Best 993 Year

According to a guy who drove a 993 in the 24 Hours of Daytona, the 1995 is the best year. Based on his recommendation I purchased a '95 and have not been disapponted.


Quick Reply: Looking for 993 Coupe, is any one year better than another?
