C4S Rails
Have been reading much about GTR and recently inspected one up close. This has to be the ugliest "supercar" on the market. Compared to any Porsche, it is a video game robot vehicle that happen to haul *** and handle well.............now, ask me how I really feel
Re. C4S - I am a '07 C4S owner. It is my daily driver and has seen a few AX and 2 track days - I would do more events, if I had more time and $$....The car has 26500 miles thus far and has been flawless....
Comparison: I have driven a 997 GT3, a 997 C2, a 997 C2S, a 997 C4S, a 997.2 C2 PDK, and a 997.2 C4S PDK.
The C4S differs from a C2 in that you can stuff the car into corners, with controlled aggression, and the *** end won't swap around like a C2 or a GT3. Driven with a firm hand, the car will drift controllably, and you can square off corners. Much of this is doable in a C2, but with less margin for error. If you are a skilled driver, then a C2 might be more rewarding perhaps..... IMHO, the C2 997 sticks well, but is less grippy and and has a flighty front end feel in comparison.... The C4S is like velcro. The 997.2 are magnificent cars, but my one comment would be that the C4S 997.2 has a slightly numb feel compared to the C4S 997.1.
I don't drive in the snow, but do enjoy the extra grip the C4S offers in the rain slick NorCal Canyons.......
Interesting thread......and, oh yes, the C4S looks incredable from the rear !
