Smile Got a 964 again after 6 years

6 years ago I sold my 964 to buy a 996 but always regretted my 964
2 weeks ago a found a very nice 964 tiptronic full option (open roof, 17" cup1's, sport suspension, soft leather)
Here are the pics
Cheers
Eric

Very nice, she's a beaut....you came full circle. For the benefit of others considering looking to leave aircooled, what prompted you to move to 996 and what made you come back to the 964?

Looks great! Clear corners and side marker lights look very slick. Bummer how the rotors always look rusty right after you wash these cars. Congrats on your 964, enjoy and welcome back.

Well I bought a 996 C2 because it is more comfortable, uses less fuel, has more safety features
I came back to the 964 because of the sound of aircooled, the steering feel and of course the looks
For me the 964 is the most beautifull Porsche produced ...

Beautiful car(s) and welcome back! Car looks to be in excellent condition. Daily driver? Some days with my commute I wish I had a Tip and I've always wondered how they drive when you really stomp on it.

Ditto...what are your thoughts on the Tip. It's not like the manual in the 964 is the most positive/precise manual shifter ever made...

I drive a lot in the center of Brussels with very dense traffic, I like the tiptronic a lot. Moreover where on public roads can you trash a Porsche without endangering others ?
Guess on the track I would prefer a manual but I dont have the time for that

On the new car, is that a factory cell antenna? Never seen that before, nice ride, both of them!

I think it is an older cellphone antenna but since there is a hole in the roof I am keeping the antenna
I dont think it is factory installed though
