Test drove a decent black 2011 C4S today. Not what I wanted (white C2 or S) but decent price and a wide butt... noticed so oil drips on each cat, any idea if that' s 997.2 thing ?
I'm super confused now... I've owned a few modern Porsche (996.2, 2x boxsters, Cayman S) and I instantly felt at home, like wearing a comfy pair of jeans. And the 4WD aspect was unintrusive... My big shock was how damn slow it felt in "normal use".. OK, sure, after 4500 rpm it goes like stink, but until then I felt like my mini cooper on boost would kick its ass ;-) It has been 4+ years since I sold my Cayman S and while I remember Porsche are about dynamics more than oomph, those 3.8L felt very low on torque. But I had an Audi S4 in between that spoiled me for "Let's go, now, immediately, boom"... Not a great track car though, that audi...
So I'm very confused... I really wanted a white C2 as my last analog car, now after driving a C4S, in some ways that is validated (stick, steering feel, the at-home feeling) but now I'm thinking a base Carrera is gonna feel even slower unless they rev quicker or something. 50K+ is a lot of $ for ho-hum and I felt decidedly ho-hum after driving... The ****e trade in on my car made walking away easy... Gonna keep looking for exactly the car I want, all I've learned is that a compromise (at that price) is not going to work for me...
