I know that when I had my old '88, I probably got the most looks from kids.

As far as performance being underwhelming, if anyone has an opportunity to really drive these cars the way they were meant to be driven on the back roads and canyons I seriously doubt they would be underwhelmed. While the performance won’t come close to the new 911’s there’s absolutely no doubt the experience will be insanely engaging and if they get it right it will be very rewarding. I’m always shocked with how fast I can go in the 964 once I got the suspension set up correctly.

Exactly. My old '88 would be considered boring if you were into the stop light drags, but as soon as things get curvy, I have no doubt that you could excite many/most passengers.

I suspect they are even more special as a driver.
