I really liked the interior of the older cars, including the 993 since they were just tiny evolutions. Ultimately though, the driving of the air cooled cars while very engaging and sometimes scary (my heavily modified 964T comes to mind) were not what I was currently looking for. The 993TT is AWD just like the 996.2TT I had and I liked how the 996 drove better. Of course part of that was because my 996TT was a low mileage cream puff.
In the end, and I know I am bias, but I think the 997.2 esp the the GT cars are a sweet spot for Porsche. I feel every single bump of the road and like my air cooled cars have to give all of my attention to it while driving.
And brakes, the PCCB's are like the hand of god reaching down and stopping you. They are that good and work just fine on the street.

I agree with you on this. For a long time, I was really bias about the water pumpers and went ahead on a long hood build, a track car that I can legally drive on the street, 2.7L with about dyno at about 250-260 at the crank, 1900 lbs. Along the way I bought a Cayman S. I enjoy driving that so much. Getting into the long hood is like driving an old tractor even through I have a custom 935 shifting linkages that shifts like a bolt action rifle, all Heim joints. Working on a 996 TT now. I love to get my hands on a 991TT or S. For now, I need let things cool for a bit. No more cars. Losing a bit of interest.
Here is is, old fashion 911 race car. Too bad it doesn't driven too often. Hey man, no AC isn't cool
