Does anyone know this 996 SC'd C4S

Larson told me to check with alex at Max rpm, I thought a local might know it or the previous owner.

Those Larson guys are numbskulls. In today's market, you can get a nice turbo for that price.

Grouse Jun 5, 2008 11:16 PM

Yes, I know. But I am not looking for a turbo, I also was not really looking for a c4s. I had planned on waiting to order one. Yet this one perked my interest.


Honestly I think it is about 7-10 to high at 64.

Isn't that Captain Tal's old car?

I was about to ask if the seller was on Meth...then I realized that the car is located in Pierce County...nuff said.

=P

Lets see, GT700 996 TT for low to mid 70's or SC'd C4S for 65, this shouldn't be a hard decision.

That is Tom's car and he's a board member here. You can PM him.

Grouse Jun 6, 2008 07:22 AM

Thank you Vincent.

Yes Tom is a great guy. That car is VERY sound.

I know you can get into stock 03-04 turbo for that money, but this car is pretty damn nice and has more power than a stock turbo

Larson is no different than Barrier when it comes to asking alot for some cars..... Cars are always negotiable ;)

This car looks really really nice, but it's been on the market for a long time. Why? I think you would be better off with a Turbo as well.

I know that dealership. A few years back my friend was looking for an audi and we went to that dealership and waited 25 minutes to even have a person step outside to see what we wanted. I was very impressed.

I agree Tom's car is really nice, one hell of a C4S and he is a standup guy. I would be hesitant to buy anything from Larson unless you get a smokin' deal. I've had my turbo in their twice and bad experience both times.

btw, I believe this is Tom's 6speed info:

Hey Todd,
Also, have had bad experience at Larson's service dept. Any car with mods, they don't want to touch. I almost bought my car there. Won't ever go there or recommend them to anyone

That is a very nice car. Seen it on a lot of drives. I've talked a little with the owner of it but don't remember names well. That car sounds VERY nice following it. I'd be leary of any SuperChargers on any cars. The engines just aren't made for that type of upgrade. IMHO the car is a little sexier than the usual 996TT there is just a lot of them. I've never driven it and never really seen it hit it's stride but ask JP St Louis he will agree with SC problems

i also agree Larson isn't really a Porsche Dealer. I can't believe Germany still sends them cars. My office is just a few blocks away as well
