Can't explain it... don't look for an explanation, but I went backwards too.
A few Carreras (with various engine sizes) to 997 back to 964... tried a 996TT - doesn't make me smile as much as it should.
Now looking at a 993 C2... I need a second one for when the 964 is out of comission. But hey, I got two air cooled 911s for less than the 997 was.

Hi
As far as handling goes I can comment on the 964 C4 which would understeer heavily. Not so bad if fitted with dampers with a stronger rebound. It also was a total tractor with the diffs locked and would drive on soft sand that way. Very unusual ability for a performance car.

Installing a rear RS swaybar will significantly reduce understeer. Problem solved!

Hi GT9111
RS swaybar.....I wish I had known that. Sadly my 964 time was before the internet and Rennlist!
Secretly I would really like a 964 with 993 rear suspension and engine if such a thing existed.
