hi. im chris and i am buying 2006 new 911 in next 100 days...
BUT.... i need some help from you guys.
i am thinking getting either carrera or c4. i live in michigan btw...
if i buy, this will be my ONLY car for ALL season.
do u think that i can drive regurar carrera in winter in michigan?? or should i get the c4??
do oyu think its gonna work if i put a snow tire??? help plz..

 

You should get a C4, and a good set of narrow wheels with narrow snow tires for winter. That should do you. Do some research and get tires and wheels of minimum width - they will do you better in the snow. On a 996 these are size 205s. don't know about the 2006 997.

 

Just my 2 cents... I think you should get a 06 C4S. I've driven them all, and in my humble opinion, it's the best new car that Porsche makes. Drives the best, and looks the best! Good luck! (might I recommend Black with Natural Interior)

 

thx guys for your help. i think i will get c4.

btw... should i get blk one or silver??? i like both... i want to hear from you guys which looks better...

 

Silver hides dirt and swirl marks better, but nothing looks better than black immediately after detailing. Also, the extra wide rear end is kinda lost in the silver, but emphasized with the black... get the sport exhaust tips too! The best choice is what ever makes you happy, but you won't be dissapointed with that car... I'm getting one too, just gotta wait til next year....

 

If you do Porsche resale values with car color, they actually deduct money if it's black. Silver is better for resale, but you should ultimately pick the color that you like best.

 

i didnt know that... so silver is better for resale huh...
thx for the tip

 

btw.... do i even need to put winter tires on 2006 911 c4?? arent they awd?

 

You are right, C4 means 4 wheel drive. I would not bother with winter tires and just make sure the 4 tires on the car have good tread [sm=exactly.gif]
