With that said, 01 TT hands down.
Rosesplus: How many miles and what condition was your TT in? That deal sounds KILLER!!!!

I am completely biased as I am currently selling a 04 C4S. C4S is the same car with reasonable HP!

That was why I bought the C4S. All of the styling and handling of the TT, enough grunt to qualify it as a supercar IMHO. I testdrove new TT's b4 buying, and they were AWESOME. But I figured I would get into more trouble with a TT.

Thats totally understandable. One needs exceptional road-weariness to drive a Turbo everyday. I think I'm up to that

Okay, honestly, I think the C4S looks better. Same widebody and bumpers, but cleaner fenders and front lip. I love the side vents and spoiler of the TT for an aggressive look, but the C4s looks "cleaner" if that makes sense.
Regardless, for the same price, I wouldn't be able to justify the C4S. It's an awesome car, but the 996TT is easy to drive around daily, despite the god-awful amounts of power.
Rosesplus - Great purchase on your 02! Sounds like you picked up a great car for a great price.

My 0.02.
I remember this one segment on Top Gear where Jeremy said it perfectly:
- 911 C2/4: Amanda, is the Carrera 2/4, enough of a handful for most men
- 911 Turbo: Sharon, is all women (as he points to a more naturally endowed woman), is the 911 Turbo
- 911 C4s: Vicky, on the surface looks the same, but this <as he points at her breasts> is a bodykit, like the C4s
The video is below on 911 Turbo vs. C4s

Imho here's my take. The c4s is a great car cause it's a 911 & it looks like a 996tt without the air intakes. However it's no turbo, as it only has 320 hp & the weight of a turbo. Buy the turbo, do an Evo stage I & a Porsche short throw shifter for about $4000, & you will have 480 hp/500 lbs torque that will dust a c4s like it's standing still. I have a 2003 996tt with the Evo 1 & short throw shifter & it should have come from the factory like that. Awesome car. Forget the c4s!!
