Number one attraction? More car... in the 997.1 at least:
two gas tanks, L and R, though they fill through the same port
two brake boosters and pre-brake loading at throttle off
monster grip on dry uneven pavement... really freaky level of grip
monster grip on slippery pavement... got caught in a snow storm on in my '06. Passed everybody.
but, most importantly, that big wide *** and those fat 305 rears that just look FANTASTIC.

On the 997.1 the front drive shaft goes through real estate in the car where the one piece gas tank would be in a C2. To allow for the front drive shaft the C4's have two piece gas tanks, one tank on each side of the drive shaft for balance, and the C4's carry more gas by volume when full compared to the C2's.
I haven't done a detail research on the 997.2 though because I'm not buying anything but a 997.2 GT3.

C2 in snow
its why J-lo is so popular- When I had a c4s loved the look- didnt find winter traction an issue because regardless of 2 or 4 wheel drive your going nowhere without a set of winter wheels/tires- then theres the issue of the people (esp here in metro NY) who dont know how to drive in winter and smack into you- i went for c2 with full winter package (ford explorer)

That is why you must have girlfriends instead of wives.
However, you do have to make sure you get rid of them every few months to avoid the lethal trap of common law marriage.
I know that is mean, however, so are wives when they are driving away in your 997 with the title to your 997.

I like the feel of AWD in the dry, you don't get a lot pull from the frt unless you start to push it and then you get the grip........I have a couple of twisty roads, where I can feel the difference between 2WD and AWD - for me, it's great. I appreciate why the C2S folks love the way their car handles, but I just prefer the extra grip. I don't know about real advantage in the snow as the car sits low and becomes a plow ....in the looks dept, I love the stance and those wide hips

There are certainly exceptions to every law.
That is why you must have girlfriends instead of wives.
