I have both as well. As people said they are two different types of car. The 986 base is a true sports car. It drives on rails, can be thrown around and has pep but not over powered. The 996.2 C4S is more GT & Track because it's a super refined car. It cost almost twice as much and it shows. It's powerful with a larger engine but you cruise down the highway at 85 and it's easy. In the turns the 996 is good especially compared to other cars but the 986 is just built for that. If you want a more family type car that still is a p-car the 996 is a great choice. If you want a true sports car keep your 986 and get a sedan.
