This one looks promising IMSB and new clutch, still want an indy PPI. Anyway, if I lived in snow country I would lean more towards the C4S, awesome machine, I love mine. Okay, it's 2 10ths of a second slower but IMO rock solid, all the components of a turbo except the turbo, and rear quarter panels, same all around and shares the same frame as the GT2 and GT3

2 tenths slower means nothing in a car that already performs better than I can drive
And anyone buying a 911 for straight line acceleration doesn't understand the car.

I am kind of in the same boat, I have (4) mods I want to do to any car I buy
-sport/race seats
-shift boot/shift ****
-suspension
-fister muffler mod
Other than that, keep it clean and drive the **** out of it!
*i just found out my home refi is going to close on the 12th, so I can't make a purchase before then without it affecting my refi. My goal is by February to have a 996 in my garage. So excited. I am just stuck on the way a Porsche feels over my Audi/VW's

I'm just a fan of the C4S, and the Turbo's because of the AWD, nothing like driving into the corners and feel the AWD kick in. With the AWD the traction control is applied with the differntials, not the breaks, real plu IMO.
I wanted an 4s, (due to weather) but I own a 400hp Golf R, Infiniti G37x sedan and a 2015 GMC Sierra ... So my AWD basis are covered.
I finally want my RWD Porsche I've been dreaming of for 8 years.
But with much appreciation for your help, I do recognize where you are coming from. And in reality the G37 or the golf R may go in place for the Porsche due to garage size...

Ageed here, no one can push these cars to the max on the street. Check around, C4S can be found. I'll look around and see what I can come up with.
QUOTE=MP2Day;4446253]I agree: ideally I'd go for the C4S - but it is significantly more $ than a C4… upscale, better platform, and more rare means they seem to go for more. I'd jump on a C4S if I found one I could afford

There are three 4S' for sale in Denver area right now, two have gone through 5-6 price reductions so far.
One is hovering around $29k (Mike ward infiniti) one is $31k in Denver(Highline Automotive) and booth motors has one for $27k
The $31k (Highline Automotive) has PSE, and is the one I wanted to buy. I can afford it IF I get rid of my Golf R for it.... So I am stuck between a $23k C2 and a $31k C4s... when I already own (3) AWD cars, all I am really getting is the wide body & PSE (Which is nice)

Good News, Attended a Xmas party last night and the owner of the Car dealership was there (Apparently we have mutual friends)
He said that Carerra had not been sold and is unsure why it doesn't show up on his website anymore.... anyway, I am going to take it for a Lengthy Test drive this week once the roads are clear and put a deposit down if we can agree on everything...
