I hope everyone is enjoying the 996 awakening as I am. For years you could barely find a 996 video on YouTube. Today there are hundreds if not more. Well deserved attention.

Doesn't matter to me either if it topped or not. The 996 is on everyone's radar.

This is mr993's old car. This car supposedly sold for over $70K at Amelia this year, so not sure how the dealer is making any money selling for $70 which means the Amelia auction sale was likely b$. That being said, I had the opportunity to buy this car from Porsche Conshohockin in Dec 2019 for $30K lol. I passed as it needed an IMS, and countless other things. Its worth more than $30 now for sure, not anywhere close to 70 though

Love the C4S. Don't get why it's going for turbo prices but the market will adjust over time as it always does to supply and demand.
Maybe someone is buying them up to produce Safaris. Or maybe their is a boatload of manipulation going on in the digital auction market.

What performance of a 4s is 'clearly a step up' over that of a Carrera (2) in your book?

Agree
The 4s is too heavy for the power it has. Here in Houston I drove my car already all modify and a stock 4s, back to back. my car was faster. Right now for a bit more you buy a turbo instead of a 4S, that makes a lot more sense to me and you don’t have to deal with all the possible issues of the M96 engine.

Sold at $72,800. 86K miles, no service records, 10% buyer's fee...
...I think someone is going to be losing money when all is said and done.

Guys, before we get into the 4S vs 2 thing again, that car is Zanzibar red. A clean 996 C2 in Zanzibar red would be worth just as much.
Okay, now that we've cleared that up. The 4S is the vastly superior machine. Excellence magazine tested all 996 variants on a track where the 4S walloped the carrera 2 by a whopping margin of 1 second.

Make no bones about it. Love both derivations.
