997: C2S vs. C4S: Which would YOU order?
I'd love to hear from Porsche-philes on this one. I have a 997S on order for October delivery. I'm very tempted to change over to a C4S. I want serious performance without the "take no prisoners" aspect of the GT3. PSE, PCCB, sport shifter, sport steering wheel, and X-51 are my type of options. In the real world, though, I like the variable suspension settings offered by the 997S; if you are "just driving" or on a long trip you can choose the more comfortable option - this is especially important on our "Third World Quality" California roads.
What are the pros and cons of each model? For starters, the obvious things (besides price) seem to be:
Carrera 4S:
Pros: traction, especially in bad weather; more predictable handling at the limit, that gorgeous tail!
Cons: extra weight of 4WD system.
Carrera 2S:
Pros: lower weight, more fun when you push it and get it right!
Cons: handling at limits, especially in the wet.
