I found my old 40th!!

Looks like my departed 40th is up for sale again. I really miss her and regret selling .

Here's the link though I'm not sure if it works since it's so long.

Do you still have the stock wheels from your 40th?

I hope i don't get flamed for this too much, but what are the biggest differences between the 40th and a regular C2 from that year?

msrp!

My 40th stickered for $94,000.

It had the Carrera GT Silver paint, Sport Seats, Painted seat backs and tunnel (containing the shifter), Turbo front bumper with painted grills, Nav, Heated seats, X51 engine package (345 hp).

I think Porsche priced the car way too high compared to the regular C2, but it did feel a lot more responsive than a regular C2. The X51 was the most important upgrade to the car. The rest are more cosmetic.

The 40th is a a great car and mine was pampered. I once spent 4 days waxing her with gentle strokes from plush towels. My wife complained that our bath towels were lower quality than the ones I used to clean the car.

If I could do it again, I would definately not sell my 40th.

I currently have the 993 C2S with the turbo S aero kit, but I would prefer having my old 40th back.

Did you add the wing or did the new owner do that?

It also had LSD rear end, sport suspension and polished wheels. It was the second fastest non-turbo car in the porsche 996 line up for 2004.

Are they really selling for close to 50k? There is one for sale local to me that is about the same price. Seems like it would make more sense to get a Turbo, C4S, or a low mileage C2 and put 20k worth of upgrades into it. Don't get me wrong, it's a beautiful car ...but 50k.?

Big difference between ask and bid - most 40th's go for a lot less.
