I think porshe only made C2S's in 1998 (in the Coupes). I had a great artic silver one. As far as I know, the only difference was being wider (turbo body work) with a different spoiler and a little heavier. I think the last cabs in 98 were narrow bodys. IMO, the 993 wide body coupes (turbo's and C2S and C4S) were the nicest Porsche bodies ever.

Fleared fenders, front bumper, rear tail, 18" wheels standard, like Ritchie said, a little bit heavier. Produced in both 97 & 98. Here is a US production chart.

Really? Was it these wheels on the silver turbo or the wheels on the riviera blue 993?

More like the silver car

I am pretty sure 17 was standard and 18 an option. I kept17 because I read the 17.s were the best for it, kind of like my 18.s for my 01 turbo

So were they the 17" cup style 2 design like the riviera blue 993 I posted? I did not know the 18"s were an option. You learn something new every day!

The "S" makes the driver appear taller, a much better dancer and generally much more fun to be with.

I think the only difference in the tail, was the split grill. No difference in the spoiler itself. Can anyone confirm this?

I have heard that the C2S is slightly slower due to additional drag and weight. But it is very minor. Same engine.
