Default S4 vs. C4S

I'm considering as a future mod, ahem, a 1997ish Porsche C4S. Anyone have any thoughts on the reliabilty/performance of such a car. Anybody think I could use it as a daily driver, including on snow, with blizzaks of course.

Default I've seen one in metro Boston with snow tires on it.

I followed it for a bit and it seemed fine to me.

Default My S4 beat the **** outta one with two really hot chicks in the car.

Then they flashed me. It was the greatest street race ever.

Default You sure could. Automobile Magazine did a story on Porsche testing

a little over a decade ago. At the time, they took 944turbo, 928S4, and a 911turbo into the northern regions of Canada for cold weather testing. All the cars were on snows and it was so cold out the power steering fluid almost froze. They also had to keep the engines running like diesels. I don't recall what issue the story was in but if they were doing that type of testing then I can't imagine they would've lessened it any.

Default I'll give you one hint about what "4" stands for

it has something to do w/the # of wheels that are driven...
