Great to see this nice review by Nick Murray comparing his 991.2 manual C4S with a 996 Turbo.

Performance value-wise, I love the 996 Turbo. I agree that it's the least attractive looking 911 but in the driver's seat, it puts a smile on my face each time.

996 Turbo vs 991.2 C4S

 

Watching later. Thanks for posting link

 

great vid, thx for posting. love the comparison and explains why i am leaning toward a new 991.2 c2S. problem is it'd have to stay stock for warranty etc

especially appreciated the "spoiler failure" cel in the guys 996!

 

Finally had a chance to watch....great vid. I haven't driven a 991 but I imagined that his description/comparison is accurate. I figured the 996T would be more exciting to drive. I often find myself laughing like a maniac when I power her through an on ramp....lol. Good stuff.

 

If we wanted linear power delivery we would drive NA or supercharged cars

 

The 991 interior looks huge

 

Haven't driven the C4s, but did drive a friends C2s. I would say both are awesome cars for completely different reasons. They should almost be different models versus generations. The 991 definitely feels bigger. And the center console is 🤢And the longer wheel base does change the driving characteristics. The power and shifting of the C2s feel is great and is definitely impressive. But less of a drivers car IMHO. It has far too many driver aides and nannies. It's like the driver is a kid and the car is a helicopter parent. But that is a stretch to hold all of that against it considering the vast improvements made and how great the rest is.

 

i agree, and it's often the case that the 911 improves with each iteration and i cant see how this wouldn't again, be the case.. also agree with the notion that 996t esp when even mildly modded has a power delivery that wont be equalled in the newer car, as i also hang onto my hat daily. but the ( roughly ) equivalent 420 hp of the 997.2 along with the added turbos has got to be a competent and comfortable DD. if i have my druthers, i would keep the 96t and get the 991.2C2S for any trips into "traffic".

 

Mark, that would be an amazing combo no doubt. I assume that 991.2 C2S would be pdk? I love manual trans but I definitely prefer to be in my Tiptronic Cayenne when in traffic

 

yes, its pdk, i really do want a 991.2 w pdk ( as long as the 6mt stays ). i sure dont need/want the awd though, so for me, the c2S is the sh*t. the guy at the d'ship keeps wanting me to test one but i haven't lost my checkbook, so I'm not going anywhere near it lol.. yet.

 

I view the 6tt as more of a tuners car. You deal with some of the cars rough edges and quirks so that you can crank up the power. If I was looking for. DD and I was a good bit older I can see myself going for a newer one.

 

^ ha! i resemble that remark lol

 

Couple of things about this video, first he's talking about 420 H.P. but I saw .9 boost which mean this car has a reprogram ecu and should have more H.P. Funny to see the spoiler failure. How about the message on the speedometer CDS T 09 , I don't have a clue about that one (nav unit?)... Finally, I love red TT !!!!!!

 

I believe that is in dash cd (single cd) track 09

 

Interesting, thanks for the info, I only got the basic sound system....
