Not going to let you C4S owners speak this into existence. I think it’s nice, but I much prefer the standard 996 rear.

If we started a poll I think the clear majority would vote the 996 4s rear end the best looking rear end

Certainly is a cool looking car. But the narrow body has a better rear end. Lighter and tighter.

Lighter and tighter might impact performance but we're talking looks. The Heckblende is just perfect with the wide hips.

Don't forget the big brakes and better suspension.

I agree. The C4S is Kim K. the C2 is Brigitte Bardot.

Or that extra weight and width!!!
remember a thoroughbred is svelte and muscular and a Clydesdale is a C4S
or in human terms a Carreras is JLO aged but like a fine bourbon and C4S is Kim K wide and abused shlitz
LOL Mike
