    C4S Mini-Article in Car & Driver

    There's a one pager on the C4S in this month's Car & Driver. There's nothing Earth shattering revealed,...but, it's nice to see something in print for those of us who dig the AWD.
    Their numbers:
    0-60 4.3
    0-100 10.2
    0-150 28.4
    1/4 mi 12.8 @111
    70-0 152 feet
    Skidpad 0.99g (WOW)
    Click for Article....
    Enjoy.

    Thanks again, Coochas!

    Nothing against the Cayman or TT, but it's good to finally see the 4S get some print- seems to be very scarce!

    Thanks for the welcome, SVNSVN!

    Hmmm, still can't log in there. I know John D. said he was going to do some upgrades. Didn't say when exactly. Guess tonight was the night.

    Re: C4S Mini-Article in Car & Driver

    I wish they had commented on understeer vs the C2S, since this seems to have been an issue with the 996.

    I was looking at 911's yesterday, and while I originally thought the wider hips of the C4 were barely noticeable, I now think that they are really gorgeous. Even though I'm mostly interested in the C2, I just couldn't ignore the beauty of the C4. Damns she looks sweet.

    Is the time from 0-150mph correct?
    Does it take 18 secs to accelerate from 100-150mph?

    Re: C4S Mini-Article in Car & Driver

    Probably is a correct time...C&D's numbers for the 996 C4S were:
    0-60 4.6
    0-100 11.0
    0-150 29.6
    996 C4S Long Term Test

    I also seem to recall seeing a figure of 17.5 secs for 0-125 mph on the Porsche site at one time,...so it makes sense.
