When was the first 996 C2S built? Was it 02?

 

There has never been a 996 C2S. The first C4S debuted in 2002.

 

Thanks John, its hard asking a Porsche newbie what he is looking at and try to describe it!

 

Steve, The C2S was built in the 993 up until 1998.

 

But only as a 96,97, and 98...

 

Thanks Justin, I wasn't sure about the 996 though (my 911 knowledge ends in 98 ). My friend swears the guy told him it is a 2000 996C2S. He even said it is a "wide-body," has litronic headlights, and a few other options that I believe are 996 only. When he e-mails the pics I will post them.

 

Well, the features you quoted were available for the 993 too.

It's also true that there never was a 996 C2S. Although pics like this one:



(note the "Carrera S"-Logo) might be a little misleadig.

 

I bet that is the car he is talking about. Thanks guys for the crash course in 996 101!

 

Can you fit a turbo rear bumper on a regular C2. That picture above looks like a narrowbody C2 or C4 with a turbo or C4s rear bumper.

 

yes you can. just needs a little work.

 

Eric is right...you can, but it IS work (at least for the installer) and it can get costly because you need a different heat shield, maybe different eyebrows, definitely different exhaust tips, possibly a cut back bumper mount, an extra bracket or 2, and some modifications to the exhaust to fit the TT openings which are closer to gether than the stock C2. Ask me how i know Also, there must be a thread or 2 on this conversion.

 

when your read let us know. don and i may have done it differently so we'll both tell you how we did it.

 

Thanks guys you've made my day. I really want that rear bumper. I have always loved the turbo rear bumper.

 

send me a pm with your email address i will give you instructions. super easy.

 

sent thanks so much
