Default Top Gear 997 C2 vs C4

Just found this while researching for my M5. Interesting results.

I hope Coochas has this as I'd LOVE to watch it without it PAUSING and DROPPING OUT EVERY TWO SECONDS!!!!!!!!!!
But thanks eggplant for posting the link. It was maddening to watch though.

look at the tailpipes... the C2 in the millenium stadium is a base model. the c4 looks like its actually a C4S (?)

therefore not the fairess of comparisons tbh.

Good spot. But it could be just the sport stainless steel exhaust option. The C4 did have the PCCB brakes while the C2 had normal brakes. Both had 19" wheels and sports chrono.
The biggest thing was that the surface wasn't tarmac or concrete. There was a little bit of dust flying about (very difficult to see). If it was slippery, the C4 would be faster with the AWD.

You have to watch it twice.
Ignore the first download, as it save to a temp file, then watch it through.

Geez, I thought Top Gear would attempt to entertain everybody by saying they both sucked.

The C4 is a not an "S" , but has the -20mm sports suspension, LSD, PCCB and sports exhaust.

I think the C2 has PASM, from memory.

There is another copy of this clip out. At the ..."c2 is nicer..." you see a figure rush in from the left, just a blur, and the clip again ends. Weird

Yep. http://coochas.com/porsche/Resources...Gear121105.mp4
As I recall, the clip does end very abruptly when Jeremy cuts in to start yapping about the Veyron again...it was very strange.
