Hi all,
I have just sold my Cayenne Turbo and looking to buy a 996 C4S as it suits my budget.This unit that i am abt to view is equipped with Gruppe M air box,Exhaust,and i think an DMS upgraded programme.
I was told by a fren that owns a 997 C2 that 996 C4S sucks big time in terms of power and its extremely heavy.However i love the shape and looks of a C4s esp the slats on both sides of the rear bumper.I really hope to get advcies from you guys.Sorry i might not be able to post replies but still i hope i will be able to get good advices here,tks in advance!! Cheers!!

 

Race your friend and that will prove him wrong. What year is your C4S?

 

a stock 996 C4S weighs 166 lbs (75kg) more than a stock 997 C2. the sport exhaust on the car you're looking at probably weighs less than the stock exhaust. the stock horsepower numbers, if you're C4S is 2003 or above, are only 5 apart; MY03> 320 versus 997 C2 325.

and the C4S is just super fine looking.

 

Try to get the Newst Porsche you can... If you can afford a 997 get a 997 over a 996...

996 C4S are one a of a kind... 997 C4S looks just as the regular line up... i have raced a CTTS and my Stock C4S was a little faster in a straight line... I belive the 997C@ would be a little faster... Try and get a 997 C2S for the best bang for you buck... 355HP with PASM, you cant go worng

 

Definetly dosent suck big time! Harsh words lol

Its a littel heavier but no that big of a deal buy what you like : )

 

Buy the newest you can afford , and what ever you buy make sure you get a PPI.I like the C4S, but I found that a C2 was way more fun to drive.I think its going to feel slow to you compared to your old Cayenne Turbo.

 

I agree but the 2002 C4S is also 320 hp as well


Stock 0-100 kph is 5.0 for the 997 C2 and 5.1 for the 996 C4S.

You friend also needs to remember that their are stock 996 C4S out their that have 345 hp from the factory .
If your lucky to find one with it the option code X51

 

And that X51 345HP is UNDER RATED!!

 

Tks all,i cant reply using my old nick "winkelhock" so i have register new as "turbo S'.
The turbo S i am interested is almost the last batch of C4S ie. Feb 2005.Whats the specs for this is it a 320hp?

 

yes 2002-2005 na 996's are all 320 except when they have the X51 option like the limited 40th aniversary edition

 

Does it help with this car comes with a cargraphic exos and Gruppe M air intake?And i plan to do a DME upgrade and exhaust manifold upgrade if i purchase it..

 

You'll probably get an extra 10 hp out of having them and you'll get another 10 from the chip.

 

So the max i can extract out from this car is 350hp or so,if no SC or capacity upgrades done to it?Tks!

 

in my own opinion, yes without a SC
