CS2 now, for equivalent car except for split grill and body - about $40K plus difference in price
At least the C4S has upgrades in suspension, brakes, all wheel drive + a few other tid bits - yea I'm baised.
Could have bought a 14,000 miles C2S from RL member for $50K or a 30,000 black/black leather C2S from Sloan for $60K - sounds like the Nathans story when my Dad told me a cup of coffee and hot dog from Nathans was $0.20
1st time I bought my C4S with 24K miles it was $54,00 from a RL memeber

It really is all in the eyes of the beholder.
FWIW, when I got my C2 back around 2000, I was thrilled as this was, and still is in fact, my dream car. Back then, I would literally peek in the garage in near disbelief when it sat there shimmering in glassy guards red. Then I joined this place. Here I saw that an "S" was better, a 4S better still, and the TT the pinnacle. I felt fortunate still, but quietly wished for more.
Then I tracked my car ...envy solved! I learned very quickly that the so-called "narrow body" is a lithe, agile, performer that gives up precious little to any S or 4S, and on a tight track with good skills gives up nothing to even a TT; no hyperbole. And as for now, that these beasts are decades old and so much has to be replaced as a matter of course --most notably suspension bits-- there is zero desire for me to look beyond my 993, let alone think that the S etc are any better. Any aesthetically, beyond the obvious rear flares, the NB has "tucked" rocker panels that flow gracefully under the car, making the whole effect of the 911 shape that of a taught, agile athlete whose power lies not in bulk, but in an underlying strength that ought not be underestimated. Just sayin ...
