Now turning to some practicalities, since you live in Chicago where I assume there can be heavy snowfall in winter, it makes sense IMHO to go for a AWD variant whether coupe, cabriolet or targa i.e. 997 C4, 997 C4S, 997 T4, 997 T4S...



Not so. You really don't need awd at all. RWD works more than fine with snow tires. If the snow is deep it makes not one bit of difference whether you drive awd, rwd, or no wheel drive - ground clearance is by far the biggest barrier not grip or traction.


Agree with Le Chef, drove my 997S through Boston winter as daily driver with Pirelli Winter Sotto Zero's on 19's, through snow and ice, very nice... Perfect as daily driver but you will get cut off and harassed and taunted on the road by the masses a whole lot more than you did in your RX8 so get ready!
