Default 996 C4S Test Drive

So.. I managed to drive a 993 and then a 996 C4S back to back. It was fantastic fun. Had never driven a 993 before and it was very familiar as I have a 964.. just feels a little more polished! The C4S though is a really fantastic all round machine.
It was great to drive the Last air-cooled and fist water-cooled so close to each other!

Please watch the video and I hope you like it

Nice!

I like the depth of the analysis you provide. Most youtube videos are sorely lacking in that department.

It would've been, however, interesting to compare the 993 C2 with a '99 996 C2, a more direct comparison. Especially since the 996 C2 weighs a few pounds less and still has a cable connecting the gas pedal with the engine.

But yes, please post your next video here as well. Looking forward to it.

Nice video, but viewers be aware that the 996 was not run anywhere close to its potential. But great video.

Guys, thanks for the kind comments! Yes a 996C2 would have been better but this is really a hobby for me and I have to make do with what I can get hold of.. similarly driving other peoples' cars on public roads i will push them a little but definitely nothing like as hard as they could be!

Thanks again for watching! If you like the vids do please subscribe to my channel.. link below
