I have a 2005 C4S....and it's AWESOME, but I don't know that there is any real demand for it over 2004.

Not sure how many were actually built.

As others have stated the X51 and PSE were NOT standard. In fact mine doesn't even have the 3rd radiator.

My understanding is that you wouldn't get anything different than a 2004, as far as standard features.

That's because your C4S is a Tip!

OK, OK I am just kidding!

What the hell am I talking about? I drive a 4 cylendar Honda that has an automatic!

Third radiator??? The official 2004 option sheet that Phil posted (thanks Phil and btw, your old car is STILL not being driven) in my other thread only states the following:

X51 Carrera Power Kit 345 HP $13,990
Includes modified cylinder heads, camshafts, exhaust manifolds, control unit, and aluminum intake manifold.

I searched and answered my own question about the contents of the X51:

From pistonheads:
Here is what is added/modified in the X51 kit:
- new intake manifold with modified cross-section (material: sand cast aluminium );
- new intake pipe supports adapted to the form of the intake manifold;
- new exhaust manifolds with larger cross-section and optimized flow behavior;
- new cylinder heads with optimized, CNC-milled inlet ducts;
- new camshafts with larger valve stroke on the inlet side and modified inlet and outlet timing;
- inlet valve springs adapted to the enlarged valve stroke;
- modified partition box in the oil pan;
- modified maps for the DME control module;
- new underside panel in the transmission area;
- all cars (except C4S) get a third radiator.

So my question is, why don't the C4S get a 3rd radiator?

The C4S is too cool.

but really. it has the turbo front bumper and get much more air cooling then a regular 996 becuase the opening are much larger.

The Turbo (and C4S) probably has larger radiators as well as the different bumper cover/ducting.

The C4S and the 40th Anniversary cars have the larger (Turbo) side radiators. I found this out while attempting to install the third radiator kit to my car. Aside from the radiator all other parts did not fit.

Of course, you meant to type "40th" anniversary.
