cool..so you like the C2 over the C4? I just picked up my C4, haven't driven a C2 so I dunno the difference in handling and power. Mind sharing your experience?

Thanks everyone, I'd just washed, hd cleansed and waxed her hence the shine...

VIP C4 - It's not really a prefer one over the other thing. I was actually originally looking for a C4 as had a brand new set of PSS9 for a C4 already sat in the garage It was more about finding the best facelift 996 for my budget. I missed out on a good C4 by a couple of hours then eventually this C2 came along. There are plenty of threads on here about which is 'better' and you can discuss it forever. They're really 2 different beasts in my opinion. The C4 is great to push the limit knowing you've got that 4WD and PSM but the C2 feels more 'sport'. Now I could be talking complete cr*p here but it's just my opinion. I'd never push my C2 the way I pushed my C4, there's no PSM and I'm not that good a driver yet. I may eventually go back to a 4WD model but right now I'm enjoying learning the ways of rear engine rear wheel drive...

So, I'm guessing that is not included in the kit? Sorry I'm not really familiar with the EVOMS kit but it looks to be simpler and a better design than the K&N. Since there is a deal running on the plenum and intake, I figured I'd go with it.

Have a look at this thread https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...d.php?t=125222

When ordering you probably need to specify for the 3.6 and the bracket will come with, not 100% though so you should ask.

I've got Tim at RPM North to thank for my bracket, true over and above perfect service...

Dervish,

May I ask if your wheels are factory 19" 997 GT3 or replicas? Either way, they look fantastic!
