i like the way the c4s looks better ( no vents, reflector) and didnt like the lag on the turbo so i went with the c4s. i'm just not into forced induction engines. it's not nearly as predictable as n/a, but without a doubt it's got much more power.

no regrets.

and that carbon fiber interior looks horrible.

My opinion: Priced too high for the mileage. I've been watching C4S prices closely for the past couple of weeks as I try to sell mine.

My C4S is also up for sale at the moment. Speed Yellow, Black interior with Speed Yellow Stitching and the seat backs/center console also painted SY. Carbon shifter, handbrake, and a $5k stereo with custom speed yellow painted subs.

Mileage: 20,200. No problems at all with the car, everything in excellent shape. Only asking $56,000.

Right now the car is just impractical for my family, so I barely drive it.

Very tempting...afraid that Speed Yellow will more than likely live up to its name (i.e. speeding yellow tickets). Plus I would prefer to find one locally or w/in a reasonable drive (either Denver, Phoenix or SFBayArea since I'm in all 3 locations for work).

Hey Richie, any suspension mods on the car?

man- that $100 ebay carbon fiber stick-on stuff looks horrible but the rest of the car looks clean. A bit high-priced tho. Keep looking -plenty of deals out there to be found!

Dropped price to $53k.. Yellow not a problem with tickets... I've only been pulled over once (no front plate) so a measly ticket to say the least..
