Red 996 C4S on the M40 today.

RANT ON:

if this car was anyone on here i really regret buying a silver tt after seeing your gleaming Red C4S on the m40 today heading toward the m25 at about 2.30 - 3ish.

looked great

RANT OFF: just had to get that off my chest.

Chap was on his way to / from seeing us. Striking wasn`t it.

Might've been my old one - there aren't many of them. I thought it looked fantastic - but of course, 'it's a shame it's not silver or black sir'....
Interestingly, there was a well spec'd 997 in Guards for sale here for months - sold for well under £50k in the end - It's strange that people love 'em, but most are too afraid to spec 'em.......

And is now back up for sale through RealBoysToys I think.

Always thought the C4S was the best looking 996. I had a lovely black one & (when) it was clean it looked fantastic. I have a TT now, but often feel the scoops & the rear wing destroy the lines of the TT, whereas the C4S looks so smooth & flowing. And I love the rear reflector accross the back of the car on teh 4S, actually makes it look wider too than it is.

have to agree about the lines of the C4s. When i first started looking at porsches it was for a c4s adn all due to the look of the car. I do love the scoops and the rear wing of my tt but it is more complicated and less pure.

Sometimes I have to double check I'm not reading the Ferrari forum. The tt is built to go faster. Much faster. Looks? who cares!??

if i just wanted a fast car without any of the looks i would go get a supercharged atom. You don't look at the mantel piece when your poking the fire but it's nice to stand back and admire it from time to time.

Don't get me wrong my tt is dirty more times then it's clean.

Have often said that my perfect Porsche would have the looks of the C4S & the performance of a Turbo.
