I prefer the look of nicely done 986....especially with BBS style wheels(sport classics). It has a bit of a sixties sports car look to it.

The 987 is a fine care but they didnt quite get the back end right.....to blocky and mundane looking...they took away the 986 curves; arches.

I have to say I like the 986 interior better (the red leather i have is stunning). It is smoother and more organic. It is probably true to say the 987 interior has a better build quality though.

I would imagine the 987 is more stable with its wider track.....I found spacers really settle the 986 down there must a good roll centre change with 15/20mm spacers.

I think a 3.6 in a properly modified/updated 986 would be a dream..
