Default 996 TT Vs 996 4S handling - ride

Hi all,
I moved up a year ago from a 996 C2 01 manual to a 996 TT 01 manual, and noticea very big improovement in handling compare to my carrera...as well as steering is a lot better.

doeas this has to do with the 4 wheel drive or what?

(please do not have in mind the performance side of the topic- we all know that turbo is faster than C2 or C4)

i was just wondering how much close is a 4S ( same 4 wdrive same suspension and brakes) with a turbo

Same suspension, brakes and chassis on the TT and C4S..which is more sports oriented than on a standard Carrera. The C4S is a bit lighter, but I don't know if you would really notice the difference in day to day driving. Basically a C4S is a TT without the turbos. The AWD makes the steering feel heavier, which I personally prefer. Both are awesome cars in all seasons.

The C4S is the best looking 996 by far.

I have had both. And noticed no difference (other than acceleration)

Wish I had my red on back (C4S) and my TT
