This is a great post and it's fantastic to read the feedback from various owners!
I am awaiting to receive (tomorrow) my first 911. It's a 1992 964 Carrera 2 Manual.
To me the 964 is THE 911 and although I like the wide ass of a 997S I feel that the 964 is, as written by many, the "bastard child" of the Porsche family.
I hope she will not disappoint me from a handling point of view.
As you read I am also very close to purchase a 1996 993 C2 Manual, should close Monday night.
No I didn't win the lottery, I just thought I don't want my trading bank to lose my money, I want to do it myself!
I previously owned a 1992 NSX, sold in December.
Cheers,
