That Cocoa full leather is purty sweet.

When I was searching, I wanted black interior and once I saw the Cocoa it was game over. Now that I own it (it's in pristine shape plus I condition it when I'm bored) I think the black looks good but too plain. The Cocoa full leather is also a different grain than the regular black. It's much more soft. If you can find it, I highly recommend it.

Here's a recent pic - the tricky part is that you really have to see the "marbleized" look in person in the sunlight.

I just sold a 930 Turbo CAB and might mal-align my spine in a 997 Turbo . . . . now you're making me lean towards a Turbo (again).
I had my 930 for ten years and it always made me grin running through the gears.
If you just sold your 930, you probably got some fairly significant bucks. They all seem to be heading to 6 figures. Unbelievable.

My experience was that my C4 experienced some off-throttle understeer when diving hard into corners but it seemed to response well to throttle inputs. I found it a little disconcerting at times when I was a bit hot in a curve and felt like I needed more throttle to get it tucked in. My C2S, which has the same brand/model of tires, doesn't do this and in general feels more nimble and responsive. Has anyone else felt this?

I love the C4/C4S/GTS for their hips though! Maybe next time I'll get a 2WD wide-body GTS for the best of all worlds, but for the foreseeable future I'm loving my current car.

Given your C4 was 997.1 and your C2S is 997.2 the difference is almost certainly the suspension setup more than the drivetrain setup. Since I was looking at C2S and C4S cars, often nearly back-to-back, and across the .1s and .2s, I noticed differences in how they handled. The biggest difference was front-end float in the .1s vs more stability in the .2s, but overall handling characteristics were different as well. I preferred the .2 handling.

I definitely preferred the .1 engine note however!
