C4 faster than C2
According to this article, Rohrl said the C4 was faster around the Nuburgring than the C2!
Find it hard to believe.
Article states thanks to better traction which is nonsense of course.
For what it's worth, it might be faster but only thanks to wider tyres and wider rear track, but still...
Weird.

As a matter of fact, the weight penalty is exactly the same as the 996C2 vs 996C4, the latter being 6 seconds slower in the N'ring 
My 73RS is a replica, so I don't own it for its rarity nor collectible value. Of course, my car is "upgraded" with lower weight, increased power, braking and suspension from the original. It does, however, drive circles around most other cars. My 2002C2 and my father's 2001 996TT couldn't hold a candle to it in terms of driving experience. It's not as comfortable nor practical as a modern car, but it suits me better - just as a 997 will suit other people better. I respect that - but just respect the fact that there is more to old Porsches than rarity or collectibility. No matter how powerful and firmly sprung, a 3,200 lb car will never have the subjective driving characteristics of a 1,900 lb car 
... thats even twice as much difference than the 996C2 vs 996C4
