I would avoid it on the track. You will not find a competitive Porsche track car with AWD.
A 964 is a great track platform. Especially for AX, it would benefit from a weight loss program.
However, the AC is not a large weight penalty, then you can drive home from the track in air conditioned comfort.

I don't race. Funny though, I DE the hell out of my C4 and it leaves nothing on the table and when its wet, its even more fun.
It is no big deal to dial out the inherent understeer with some wider front tires, heavier rear sway and a more aggressive track alignment. Hmmm, seems thats no different than what the C2 guys do, too, to get their cars around the track.
Its so neutral, that most of my instructors couldn't believe it was a 4. A couple even asked to drive it and were amazed.
Complicated, sure seems that way if you don't know anything about the systems and how they are related. The car is a little heavy, but then a lot of the newer cars are as heavy or heavier and I'm assuming we are talking DE's and not all out racing, so who cares?
I'm not sensitive, but one cannot make a blanket statement to avoid it on the track and not get called on it.
