This. While I love the air cooled 911s, if you've taken one apart they strike me as being built by a German man in a shed. The 986/996 interior also wears very well, especially the base interiors.

It's funny watching this forum and how the water cooled cars have gradually infiltrated. I should have kept notes of all the 986/996 haters to see how many own them today. Given another 10 years of air cooled 911 appreciation I suspect that list will be a LOT longer. It's funny how typically those that knock the cars have no real experience with them.
