I had considered purchasing a C4s. I love the car, and have always loved the shape of the 911's. I do also love the 944 and always have as well. I put at least 20k miles on a car in a year, so getting the C4s to pile miles onto seemed foolish. I ended up keeping my Audi and buying an 86 944 turbo.

I agree completely with sly and cabman. It's not what the car is to everyone else, it's what the car is to YOU. I'll sometimes take a 15 minute break at work just to go for a ride. Every time I get in the car it's like a new car to me. Every day that I have to take the Audi it is like a letdown because I'm not driving the Porsche.

That being said, damn do I love the looks of the 997. When they come out with a C4s version of it I will buy it.

Hmm....maybe it's time for a drive...
