dont settle for a used C4S or even the cayman . Dont get me wrong, the cayman looks bad @ss, but just isnt fast enough.

used 996TT w/shiv flash > Z06

Why an S? All it has is a widebody and "Turbo-look" scoops and vents. I call it the Turbo Wannabe because that's what it is. And who wants a heavy AWD, naturally aspirated Porsche? If you want AWD, you gotta have at least 450-500hp to make it interesting! Either go all out for a 996tt or get the much lighter, RWD 996 C2. I prefer the latter when it comes to actually driving it hard. Better balanced and more fun to beat around. Although the 996tt is just sickening in its capabilities. White knuckles all the way!

I thought it had about 30 more hp than the Carrera? Beyond that, I just assumed it had slightly better brakes, slightly more aggressive suspension, etc. If it is just a lot of hype, thanks for clarifying...

No Shiv. The carrera "S" they all get the suspension and the brakes of the turbo besides the wide body.

I guess the question is: What is smogster talkin about? A C4s, or just a C2 with the S package?

Classic Air Cooled TT
A 97' 993 TT S is Nastier than them all. With a Chip, and exhaust it will push well over 500 to the wheels and still command a 60-70k $$ tag..
