I actually prefer the look of the 964 wide body, as to me it represents the quintessential 911 look however I much prefer the way the 993 drives.

1. Price appreciation: I would say the opposite is true, 993s have already appreciated whereas 964s are still undergoing this process after years of being undervalued
2. 993 C2S being more collectible: I'm not totally sure on this but i think the 4 widebody is a much rarer car than the C2S. I think this would make it more collectible?

Just gives off that feeling of older guy with refined taste. Kind of like a nice swiss made watch that people overlook because it's not a gold presidential or a two-tone sub. My opinion and 2cents.

It's a stunning and rare car that looks fantastic stock (and worth more).
OR
With a few simple reversible mods, you can change the whole character of the car with a Duck and some deep-dish BBS wheels.
Everyone needs to own a Turbo bodied car at least once!

You an switch back and forth...

It is for this reason that I think it might be more collectible. Though the 964 is rarer that doesn't necessarily make it more desirable or valuable. Or maybe, in time, it will...

However a tie (or close to tie vote) on the 964 forum is basically a "win" for the 993 C2S. My guess is that the same poll on the 993 forum would run at least 80-20 in favor of the C2S. Just saying

Ideally my wife would have a 993 C4S... got my eye on one (the previous owner of my 964 - one day he will sell I suspect).

The 964 looks better to me, where the 993 drives better to me.
