Opinions Please - 2 Choices
My feeling is the 6k difference is of no real consequence to a guy like you. However, you might want to consider the cost of owning these two cars for a while. I think the GTS will hold its value better than the C4S. How do you plan on using the car?
My experience has been opposite of an earlier poster that said his Carrera 4 pushes more on throttle then his new 2S. (maybe tires or soft suspension) My experience is that every Carrera 2S I have driven (friends cars) have had a lot more pucker factor when the front end pushes/understeers with initial turn in and mid corner throttle application then my 4S . In my 4S I feel way more confident in the tight stuff and applying throttle earlier in the corners. The added weight over the front axle and all four tires clawing at the pavement are an advantage in wet and dry conditions... Although admittedly in the dry straight line acceleration it will tip towards the GTS


From my experiences this is an absolutely spot-on description of GTS under-steer! The first couple times this happened to me I was totally caught out (quite a feeling to be turning the wheel and have nothing happen). At any rate, it is just part of the idiosyncratic nature of the GTS/C2S. Once you get a feel for the car you know exactly what is going to cause this type of under-steer and drive the car such that turn in and throttle application don't upset the car. It's not very hard once you know how your car is going to react to your inputs on certain road characteristics/surfaces.
I also agree totally with your statement. Seat time and driving experience make all the difference too. Both cars are incredible machines and will offer ya miles of smiles. It's knowing those idiosyncracies that make 911 drivers unique
Sorry, but this is the nearly the silliest statement I've seen posted on 6speed. 'Normal' has to include the rain on the way home after a sunny day. Scooter, get some FOCUSED seat time in a 4s, wet OR dry. I see you ran a 4 in the past, and TX doesn't see too much white stuff, but rain is the real reason for the all-wheel. Why do you think there is a all wheel drive system? Why does the 918 and the other, P1 have the system? The engineers and top drivers know why.
