Is this some kind of double secret code?

What are you two? International spies?

Yeah, the 996 inspires confidence that lets you know right when it will let go.

My '87, no way!

I cant tell when it will let go and I felt at many times (when it was running) that it was at its edge when it really wasnt.

You have to pay a lot of attention to the older ones, not the 996, it WILL tell you the condition the car is in.

That's why we have cup holders and Nav systems

welcome to the dark side....of the ignorant Porsche owners who don't know the heritage of Porsche according to a post on the bright side!!

I think that drivability did however have to compromise the real Porsche look......but the C4S is a very very very sexy Porsche

enjoy (the fiddling)

very nice ride.... welcome to the water pumpers. Always a treat to see 993 owners on here... as for grip, I think you will give in before your c4s will... its a phenominal car on the track as well. Enjoy!
