964 options

[David McLaughlin]

I've been looking at several cars lately... mostly on the internet though. After talking with a few people, I think I'll be going for a nice 964 C4 instead of a higher mileage, more questionable 993.

I saw a sweet looking c4 coupe on ebay a little while ago. What I liked best was the stock tail with larger turbo flares. Was this a factory option? If so, how many were there?

On a side note, I just picked up a 964 Turbo for my 2yo son. I think it was harder to find his Power Wheels car than what I'll face for my own toy.

Thanks,

Yes, this is the 1994 Carrera 4 "turbo look".

Ok, so there was a Turbo Look in 1994. Does it have any of the Turbo's goodies or just fenders? Does any one here have one or know what they're like to drive? I doubt I'll be able to see on of these in person before I buy. I love the look, but am worried it may not be as comfortable as a daily driver.

TIA,

I can't imagine it would drive any differently from a regular C4. My 964 was a great daily driver and I drove it all year in the same area as you. Just watch out for the SUVs on 128 - always assume you're invisible to them.

My friend had the '94 turbo look. I think it was just fenders, because the brakes were stock C4 (earlier mid 80's turbolooks had turbo running gear). It might handle a little better because of the wider track, but it also weighs a little more. Plus, more air resistance. The turbo-look is really more of a cosmetic thing than performance.
