Well done. Beautiful generation 911. I have the same car and I am fascinated. I have one question. It seems that car has wheel spacers. Can you tell me what's size of the spacers? They fit perfectly and I would like to do the same. Especially when car has a lower stance. Thank you!
Hey - Bilstein B16 adjustable set , lowered to a 996 GT3 ride height. This is indeed running spaces, gives the 996 a much nicer stance IMO. Also an H&R Anti Roll bar. its not an every day car, bit stiff, but so much fun,.
I was initially dissatisfied with mine, the gearing is too long and it should have revved to 7.5k. It’s too heavy as std and has reasonably soft suspension giving a GT feel rather than sports car. Also has a heavy dual mass flywheel. I think these are designed to be quite ‘feeble’ as std, for the mass market, not particularly much of a sports car as it’s quite sensible, has a daft long Final Drive and a huge gap in the 1st and 2nd gear ratios. I’ve had a lot of cars, some of which quite focussed and exotic and I was thinking what have I done buying this C4S, it’s heavy and the acceleration is not particularly exciting. With proper suspension, a lot of weight loss in certain areas of the car, and with a quickshift, smaller diameter steering wheel (makes it feel more nimble), and lighter flywheel I’m finally enjoying mine. I just wish Porsche wasn’t so obsessed in long gearing, if you compare a 1-2-3 acceleration of even a Ferrari 348 to a 996 C4S (manual) the Ferrari is so much more instant and responsive due to better gearing. I’m going to sell mine, while it’s fun it’s just not hit the mark for me. If you’re a cruiser and drive slowly you probably would like the car but for a serious petrolhead that likes revs, good acceleration from a tightly stacked close ratio gearbox, I’d advise to look elsewhere.
The C4S really look gorgeous. What with the 2nd generation headlights, front and rear Turbo bumpers - just awesome. Aggressive and business like.
Great video. That C4S light bar🫠
Awesome video, thanks for sharing .
i am getting it bro!!! this will be my next car!!! ♥♥♥♥
Looking forward to it, great work mate and always top work from Design 911 boys.

What spec suspension was fitted and is this running wheel spacers

Great set up. I have exactly the same one. What spaces size did you put on?
In the market for either a 996 4s or 997 4s, which is a better overall car?
Ive seen some comparisons and there pretty close from the fed back especially the 997.1 . I own a 996 and its a joy driving
Is he in witness protection? 😂
You ain't seen me,...Right,..😆😆
