Guys and Gals

Finally, after 10 yrs in my wonderful 993, i am moving into a 996. A 2002 C4S.

After a long test drive, the only analogy is my 993 is as far from my first 72 911S and the C4S is from the 993.

Did I choose wisely???

The car is silver is with a black interior. So, the question I have for the board is; what suggestions do you have to personalize the car.

Thanks for the suggestions.

I look forward to posting more.

Truth be told. LOL seems like that a lot.

Congrats! The best "personalizing" is forming a "bond" with the car from a lot of driving (on the track helps too).

Set some goals to drive it as much as possible - and then the rest of the mods / customization will come naturally!

Welcome.

The first mod I did was a B&M short shifter - a must have.

Enjoy - drive fast and safe!

I too, liked the 996 much better than my 993. Good choice & good luck with it.

How did you like that 84 944 turbo? I've had a few, but my earliest was an 86...

The 996 is a step above the 993, I just love mine. Good luck w/it.

What a beautiful looking car!! Congrats on the purchase.. I am actually looking to add a 964 to drive around. Going the other way..

congrats surfer161... lots of Rennlist drives in the tristate. Hope to meet up on sometime.

Chao... good choice, Im still debating which way to go myself... aircooled vs keep going with the H2O

Ferdinand,

I am actually thinking about adding one to drive around in addition to the 996. There are more 964 C4s than C2s. I would be happy to share some of my findings so far. Look for PM
