This, I have had a 997 C4 and it really did not feel as fun as the 2, I now have a 991 C2 and the 4 is defiantly better.

This, I have had a 997 C4 and it really did not feel as fun as the 2, I now have a 991 C2 and the 4 is defiantly better.
Is that in terms of feel / driving dynamics or is there more to it than that?

The 997.2 C2S I drove didn't have an LSD and I wasn't too keen on the driving dynamics thanks to that... I preferred the C4S... quite probably simply because it has a LSD by default...

On the 991 it makes no sense but the 4WD has better steering feel, seems to drive more like a RWD car even though it is 4WD and then has the advantage of being 4WD. On the 911 Porsche did something very good on the 4WD cars, or they got the 2WD wrong, lol.

FYI, 997.2 C4S feels like a RWD car to drive... otherwise I wouldn't have liked it very much 
I dislike standard 4WD systems almost as much as FWD.
But I know what you mean re:steering feel... it's better than your average car still, by far, but the C2S vs C4S is night and day in steering feel.

Put my old one up for sale today. Do you guys think the price is ok?

Seems fine, good luck!
Thanks lets see. If I get close to my asking price I made huge spec upgrade for nothing at all.
I will advertise mine soon, drove it Wednesday and today, get silly ideas of keeping it along with M3 and Mustang.
Must just throw it on PH and be done with it.
I would jump at the opportunity to buy yours if it wasn't speed yellow.
You had the 3rd radiator added didn't you? From what I've read this seems to be vital in providing the extra cooling to prevent possible bore scoring.
Couldn't you just wrap it?
Would rather buy the right colour for me to begin with.

I like the yellow... Only car I've seen that I think suits yellow other than a Ferrari or Merc AMG GT
what colour are you after? I also like the red and yellow
Correct is why it was first thing I did when buying car.
SY is marmite, either love or hate, but is incredibly rare so helps mine with value for re-sale.

That's a 10K option the yellow on the AMG GT.
Anything really other than something loud. I think after I sell my M3 I will look for a C2S or C4S with the aero kit. I have never been much of a fan of silver cars except on 911's and Mercs. I'd quite like a 911 in silver.
The GT silver is the way to go if you want a silver car its a lot nice (in my view) than the other silvers they offer but at £1800 its a little too much when you spec the car.
Did you put a request into the dealer for it for a few days? If so I may have to ask a few questions to the local dealer.
