Don't want to sound negative, however.....haha There is hardly any difference between the C2 and C4. I have converted my own car, a car I know inside out. The main thing where you will notice a difference is steering, however, it is not AWD vs RWD, it is geo. You can set up the RWD car to have the same steering feel, and vice versa. If you take a C4 and convert, either with CV stubs or using C2 uprights and dampers, what you will find if you keep the geo settings is the steering goes very light and a bit too darty, the back end wants to kick out more. If you have the rear end set up with quite aggressive negative camber and a lot of toe in, and then have the front with very mild negative camber and just a smidge of toe in, the car will feel a lot more planted at the rear, the steering will weight up as much if not more than the standard AWD set up and the car will be incredibly confidence inspiring, which is what I think the C4 feels like out of the tin. The back end will only kick out if really provoked, the car will not follow the camber constantly so won't feel 'loose' up front with steering that is too light, and for roads at least, will allow you to be constantly quicker because it doesn't feel as nervous. Geo is everything with these cars, sure losing 80lbs helps a smidge with over all power, or how powerful the car feels, but I can guarantee you I can get a C4 to feel like a C2 and a C2 to fell like a C4 just by changing the geo. By the way, I use Koni Special actives with H&R springs, nearly as firm as ROW M030 when pressing on, but more comfy than standard Porsche set up when going slow or driving round town. The drop is huge too, which also helps turn in and how planted the RWD car feels. Standard RWD cars in the States sit far too high and rear far too soft, this also makes the steering too light and the front end feel too floaty, I think people confuse this with being "playful" or "fun", get into a car that is dialled in better and you will find it more fun and playful. C4 levels of steering weight, losing the front end float, far better steering turn in and with a smidge more power as you have lost the weight. What's not to like?
Well done guys, on camera presence is giving me Power Nation or Hot Rod Garage vibes.
Thank you

If you are in Dallas and want to come talk cars, we would love it.
Turned up on my feed and I really enjoyed it. Sub'd
Thanks!
first time seeing you guys on youtube. Gained a new sub here!
Thanks! Welcome to the channel!
I believe the c4 would be faster around turns with the additional traction. Look at the history of the Quattro.
996 Gt3 are based on c4 chassis
What's not to like about removing 80lbs(!!) and having your car now 100% RWD and more responsive steering.
I know what I would rather do
Stick a supercharger in it...
I don’t hate it - jh
