i like air cooled cars b/c they feel "different"
however they are not "raw". a well set up 996gt3 is very raw. way more so than any 964/993
given same driver skill, there is no way in hell long hood, 964/993 can hang with any GTx watercooled cars. not even close.
but they do have a very different "charm" that modern cars do not have.

I think people confuse 'old' with 'raw'. I think my 997RS feels more raw and mechanical than my 89. We'll see what happens when I get my 964 back... i've engineered a lot of raw and old dude into it (dynamat and AC and power steering!). To me raw = very visceral and mechanical feeling. One with the machine. A stock C2 964 is way too cushy for that, even more so than my stock 89 carrera. Now a modded car...
I think i should buy more 997 GT cars. lol. But I want a 981 boxster, have to work on my tan this summer. dr. said i need vitamin e. too pasty.

I have not put it up for sale, if anyone on here is interested in it and live local enough to check it out (hacienda heights, CA) we can set something up I will be putting it for sale in the next couple weeks probably around $50k?

Whats up guys
I have a 1990 C2 coupe 5 speed manual, I honestly do not know much about cars I just have always loved porsches i bought this about 4 years ago and i get random people coming to my house all the time asking to buy it. I wasnt thinking about selling it but I dont really drive it and if its worth enough I might try to sell it. It has over 200k miles and I am the second owner, the Original owner daily drove it since it was new and gave me pages and pages of repair orders done to it. I put new KW V1 suspension and real fusch wheels not to many miles ago. everything else is stock. Ac doesnt work, exterior is original but has some scratches and stuff, interior is not in great shape missing some clips and needs steering wheel and shifter redone, dash has some cracks. Always been a California car and runs and drives very well. Let me know what you guys think
thanks

Get a GTS with a cobb tune. Nice ride and lots of fun with the top down. Still prefer my C2 better even if it is slower but it is the only open car I would consider except maybe a spyder but you can't beet the one button 20 second top down.

One thing that hasn't been mentioned yet, the size. I love having all that lane space as I carve through the turns...

Good luck with your sale, I like the stance and look of the rims. Keep us posted.

Just last weekend I raced (PCA Club) both my '83 911, and was invited to co-drive in a friend's 996 GT3 Cup Car. First time ever in a Cup, or any water-cooled Porsche on the race track. I found the 996 Cup to be very fun to drive, and very communicative to the driver. In no way would I describe it as more raw than my '83 race car, and its no where near as "chatty" to the driver as my '83. Still, great fun. I was only a few 10th quicker around the circuit in the Cup Car. I am sure with more seat time I would have easily been a few seconds faster around the course in the Cup.
