My car was like that until I installed the factory aerokit (the one for cabs and targas BTW). Problem solved by adding downforce without weight. It was just a wee bit more expensive, though.

OR...Get a C4S! where the word "float" is not in its vocabulary.

...which is handy, since there isn't any room in the C4 trunk for sand

A few weeks ago I had two 40lb bags of mulch up there. I wonder how much it will hold? Anyone care to look at the manual.

When I had an F150 I went to Home Depot to pick up sand for the playground and pavers for the court yard. I put so much weight in the bed, that I blew the rear tires (oops), as soon as I put it in R.

What about the spare tire?? Isn't that heavy enough. I actually took mine out to save on weight.
I do have the GT3 bumper with splitter lip though.

You could relocate your battery up there, just like the 993s.

Hey - you and I think alike. That is the same reason I don't have a dog. And the only way we are getting one is if my wife and daughter both sign contracts to do at least 75% of the walking, feeding, bathing, pooper-scooping and taking to the vet that I used to do. Otherwise, no pets for me.

FYI - they probably KNOW you have a pool - they see you lugging supplies and cleaning the damn thing after all.

Unless it was Gant's C4S submarine. That puppy could float!

That's why I live in a van down by the river . . .
