C2S if you are a confident driver, C4S if you're not. You don't need awd in the rain or the snow - it's redundant when you have PSM.

Had a 2S and went to a 4S. Love them both but the main reasons I went with the 4 this time was the AWD and the fact that as another poster said above on the track it would be slightly quicker and of course the wide rear end. I have no use for the AWD for the road becuase it is just a summer fun car, it is a matter of I just like the technology of the system, same reason I got PCCB's. Really cant tell much of a difference straight line performance wise and it does seem like a more planted car.

Total bullsh*t statement. So I assume you would also call all the Turbo drivers non confident and the GT2 drivers confident. You should flip over to the Turbo board and tell all those guys that they are a bunch of non-confident wussies and they should be ashamed to be driving a Turbo with AWD.

Heres a good one, how about between a Cab or a Coupe?

Answer: If your lite in the loafers a Cab, if your a real man a coupe.

What do you drive? AAAAAAHHHHHHH a Cab!

Sounds about the same logic to me.

And I take it you couldn't handle the GT2, is that what you're telling me?

Have to disagree with Le Chef. Yes a c2 with PSM is pretty good in the rain and snow, but a C4 will run circles around it, especially in the snow. Four times as much rubber/footprint to put the power down.

It's not a problem. You just don't need awd. Of course he-men with small ego's driving turbo's need it, but that's a different story.

There was no point in that statement. One of the dumbest I have ever seen on here. And if you look at your orignal statement, it it says much more about your delicate ego.

Please don't offend the cab people, turbo people, GT people.
And please calm down, everyone.

and you still don;t get the point, but no matter. Ask the owners of GT2's why they traded in their TT's.

It's just comic when people become some defensive when they have no reason to.

I drove both, I like both and I'm buying the C2S Coupe.

I use my '08 VW Golf R32 in the rain.

Le Chef-

I like it...basically you are saying that all 4WD Porsche drivers are WUSSIES and all the 2 Drivers are REAL men- so if a 2er (new nickname) slide a little more into turns, no worries- CHICKS DIG THAT!

Not sure all will agree- but I see where you are going....

Cheers-
SD
