You did what Chris ???? Why ???

I have been thinking of getting a Carerra 4S myself. I have not driven one more than across a parking lot. Would you be so kind as to describe it's driving characteristics and compare it to the Boxster S ??

Hmmm,

I was always lusting for a C4S and I suddenly found myself in a situation where I finally could afford one , so I went for it.
Having two Porsches made no sense for me, so "Violet" is gone now.

Well, the C4S is about 300 lb heavier but has 135 more horses which more than make up for it. The acceleration is insane and the ultra fast shifts from the PDK too. Wait until my first track day (end of March) and I can then tell you more about handling characteristics. The interior of a 2009 is of course much more refined over a 2002 and I can finally have both my kids in the car with me.
And the exhaust sound is intoxicating.
To be continued ....

I replaced my Track Control Arms today, the ends (red arrows) were like marshmallows compared to the new ones. Replacing them eliminated rear clunking sound I had going over bumps at very low speeds.
