Post Please post pics of your lovely C4S's and Targas

I'm a prospective 996 buyer who can't make up his mind...
'03 C4S?
'03 Targa?
'01 TT?

I need all the help I can get

Here's my .02:

Twin Turbo: If you have money to spare, go for it.

C4S: excellent choice for the cost.

Targa: Uh, can I interest you in a Cab? No offense, just my .02 .

Here's my C4S in action, lifting it's right rear wheel on turn-in and trail braking.


320 horses and 270 ft-lbs of torque put that wheel back down WOT.


Glamour shot . Gotta love that butt!!!

Just to clarify - this is not my car!!!!
- But i had fun with it for a period, and it's amazing.

My 2 cents - the targa has to much weight were it "hurts" the most. The TT are much to expensive compared to the cost of the C4S and what it can offer you of pure fun.....

Frode

Never mind the pics. Drive each one. They each feel very different in feel and handling despite the obvious power difference of the TT.

The more I see turbo-nosed carreras the more I'm tempted to do the same

I planned on installing Euro M 030 suspension just as soon as I recive the Porsche sport exhaust and now I'm debating weather to wait for that and go ahead with the turbo-nose treatment. I'm torn between that, doing the suspension first or waiting for the factory GT-3 look front spoiler. You guys are a bad influnece

Yes Don it looks just like the stock nose but it's much more aggresive. I looking at a pic right now in the '03 Porsche exclusive brochure. It's part of the new Aerokit Cup II along with the optional side skirts and a rear wing similar to Ruf's 996 based R-GT.
