I don't know.... Didn't that clown on Hot Rod describe the C4's cornering ability as "even w/315's on the front... plowing...." I'm glad that guy spoke up, I really didn't know that C4's were so worthless that they couldn't even be modded to the handling level of a new C6Z... Don't worry Brian. Once you're all done figuring out that modding a C4 is a big waste of $$$ - We'll get you to sell all that Penske stuff, then set your ride up with a straight axel in the rear and you can go drag racing. Now that sarcasm is turned off... The engine is looking good. Will

I don't get the feeling the HR guy knows of what he speaks, or, has only driven poorly set up C4s (which is probable). If the C4 was so ill handling, why did Porsche buy one to figure out why it is kicking the 944s ass? If the C4 was so ill handling, why did they have to spin off their own race series when everyone else threatened to quit??? Oh, well... There is another possible problem here... with over 600chp and no waiting, any bets on the lifespan of the rear tires?

C4's do need a bit of tweeking to handle well on the track.
