I have been thrilled with the handling my C4S, but must admit, perhaps defensively, that I am also a Tiptronic Infidel – I own a novice’s car, according to some purists….but, I am also a member of the quiet legion of Tip owners who need this option to survive the stop and go, the variable conditions, and commute multitasking activities that include Bluetooth phone work and coffee swilling. While I appreciate a 6-speed, and have enjoyed such in a 356 Speedster and a C2 997, it would be untenable for the variety of conditions that I experience on a typical daily drive over the Santa Cruz Mtns into Si Valley.

Having said that, the slushbox C4S is a heck of a lot of fun at trackdays – the car can be backed into corners and supports fun slip-angles at speed. It also sticks like glue when needed. I attach a photo taken at a recent track day at Laguna Seca, and notably, the next day, I piled the wife and 2 kids into the car for a pleasant outing at the beach. Truly a versatile car.

If I was track only I would go for the C2 with PDK.

That's right, the good Dr. meant them to be driven not polished.
