No car is perfect but the 915 gearbox is a big let down in G-body experience if you are used to being able to bang shifts in a modern car.
As for rattles, squeaks, and leaks, that’s an ongoing thing but there is definitely a lot of variability based off of the chassis in my experience. Had a never hit, original paint, survivor 912E with the same suspension setup as my Frankenstein used and abused ‘75 911S and there was no comparing them. The 912E was tight as a drum and the 911 chassis was definitely well past its prime in the rigidity and dimensional accuracy department. The 912E was too nice to modify beyond OEM + bolt ons…….. the 911 now has 250ft of chromoly tubing and a VERY expensive G50 gearbox which hopefully solve the 2 things I didn’t like about it.
Hate the steering feel of a 964 with or without power steering, 993 rear suspension leaves a bit to be desired. 996 GT3 built into a street Cup is the only 911 I’d consider over my highly bastardized ‘75 because there is no perfect 911.
