Which car to sit on... 964 or G50 3.2

Saying you had both with around 100k on them... Which would you hold on too?

Thanks

All else equal, I'd probably hang on to both, but the 964 if I had to choose.

Both are original, clean 100k mile cars in 8/10 condition... 964 is an early C2...

On that note 3.2, but Post july 92 productipn C2, I would chose the C2 hands down.

The 964 C2.
The 3.2 Cars out number the 964 by about 4-1. If its a Manual not a Tip then its a very simple decision.

G50 3.2 without question. The 964 was never really evolved or finished in my mind. It's kind of a test bed car.

Probably the 3.2. I prefer the driving dynamics, and for me, that's the whole reason to own the car. To drive it.

I used to be worried about resale, but I've decided the car is all about driving. So, pick the driver's car first.

3.2. 964s are ugly.

G50 for me, last of the 911 line.

I think the 964 is a great car overall and still looks good... Did I mention that I also have a '81 SC that I intended to keep for a long time. I think the '81 and '91 make a nice pair.. that said, so does the '87...
