The C4S has the same 0-60 time of 4.6s as the C2S, but runs to 179 instead of 182. Not sure what the 0-100 times are for either car.

Interestingly, the C4S makes the same HP, at the same RPM, as the C2S: 355HP @ 6600RPM.

A new 997 Turbo is $126,200, which is about $10,000 more than an R8. I have no concept of how much money that really is to blow on a car, but I'd suppose if you're spending over 100,000K, the extra 10K won't hurt.
