Depending on where @Icelia is, we can meet in Broward somewhere. Every so often @barbancourt and I have lunch down in my area but he lives a little more north of me.

I have no problem letting other members drive my car, especially if it’s to help them make a decision on certain kinds of mods I have done to my car. I would tell @Icelia that I have driven a .1 C4 and it’s very nice. Slightly heavier steering feel, which I don’t think is a bad thing, and felt very planted. Felt similar to my 997.2 C4S, actually. If it were me, I would not alter my C4 to make it a C2. The C4 has its own character that is great in its own right. You certainly can come drive mine if you’d like.

It did in fact, break the BaT record, classic.com record, and sell for more than original MSRP....

Kinda a big deal...

On the other end of the BAT spectrum, questionable 996.1s are being sold at pre-pandemic prices.

yeeeeesh it looks like somebody spray painted that thing...

"The 18″ Sport Classic wheels are wrapped in a mixture of Continental and Delinte tires."

Imagine the BaT employee writing this. It is written like it is a selling point but it's clearly a disclaimer.

A lot of 996 supply is currently being dumped on the market. Haven't looked at the quality of it yet.

Curious how many folks that have historically participated on this thread have sold? Not hearing from many anymore. Either the excitement is gone, or they are past the pandemic and back to work, or maybee they have sold.
