First impressions of my C4S- 20mm + pics
Pick up: long chat with dealer + he gave me 4 mats and 3 key rings ( black , green, red)
Specs:
997 C4s, Seal, Black interior, with sports chassis ( -20mm + LSD) : The sports chassis is firm but ok to drive on normal roads. It is a little bit softer then sports with PASM, but a very different feel...much more connected to the suspension and the road. Only when hitting big bumps is it a little bit hard . I do have 18' rims at the moment because of winter settings, it will be a little bit harder with the 19'. I love this setting! Can't say anything about the LSD yet, roads where very busy + it was -3 degrees and going into the night. I have not pushed the car yet.
Heated seats.. works very well, nearly too well.
Cruise control ( haven't used it yet)
TPMS...seems very precise. Great.
Top of front window tinted ( helps when sun goes down + looks nice)
Pack Sport ... Great, I had it always on
Sat Nav + phone ( elaborated gadget)
Bose surround ( have hardly listen to it, but sounds ok, not fantastic, not too bad either)
Back logo painted in car color ( I was going to have the delete, then when for this. I like better as it makes the logo more discrete...see pics )
Auto dimming mirrors ( a must)
Sports seats ( I like them much better then the standard and I do not miss the all electric , specially for the price they ask)
Steal entry door ( a waist of money.... It looks good but no need at all to have it)
Side skirts painted ( I love it... see the pics)
Short shift ( really short and a little bit harder then the standards, but I like this mechanical feel. Good....but maybe no must have)
PSE .... Must have! I can't drive without it on!!!!!! and have already spoken to the mechanics to have the switch installed ( next to the sports button) so I can have it on all the time, or back to normal.
Thick steering wheel... I regret that one ! The leather feels much better then the others, softer but then one can feel the stitches very well and the two 'bumps' are too thick to my liking.
5 mm spacers ( front and back) A must have on the wide body
( at the moment I have the 18' winter rims with tyres 295 so it still looks too much in the inside, even with the spacers.
Porsche logo in head rest: looks great! I love it !
I can't say much about the ride feel as I didn't drive hard.. lots of trafic, new car, ice on the road.
But great traction for sure!!!!!
It does feel different then the C2S, less nervous, less sporty, more like a sporty GT, very confidence inspiring, front heaver... I will have to see that later.
Here are a few pics.....
