Funny thing that this thread got posted. I just test drove a white Evo(MR edition) tonight, and I have to say it's no POS for a 35K dollar car. The dealer said they don't let people test drive any Evos, but I guess they changed their mind after I pull in the dealership with my black GT3. They were marking up 8K over MSRP on the Evos, but they wanted to sell the car so bad that they offer at MSRP.

It's a 30K car that could outrun your C4S. That's what it's meant to be.

And I guess POS is a relative statement. While the Evo or STi is no super sports car or luxury cruiser, it is a great, alternative if you're in that market. I looked at both cars as 4th cars before I bought my POS Honda and was pretty impressed.

Look at these C4S guys go off. Comedy.
Why the hell one would pick a C4S over a Turbo is beyond me.
Sorry, man. You'd be hard pressed to take on an Evo8. The MR will kill you. The Turbo will kill you. The C5 will whoop you on an auto-x course. The Z06 is a Turbo rival which makes the C4S awfully... wtf?
Get real, bud. Nice car, but bro, it's the red-headed stepchild of the 996 line-up.

If you don't mind me asking, what kind of Porsche do you have? Just curious. Not meant by any means to be a flame.

as I stated, in a straight line or a road course? I was refering to a road course. the evo isn't that quick in a straight line.

My previous Porsche was a 99 C4 with full bolt-ons and heads and cam work. It put down 309 RWHP. With 50 more crank HP than you I would run neck and neck with a regular C5.
Stock for stock a 405 Z06 would give a TT all that it could handle, so I'm pretty sure it would give a C4S a decent whooping.

Question, how many horses do you think a 2003 C4S has?
