The 986 is just as fast in a straight line (I think), handles better, has more modern design and functionality, is more reliable, has a higher fun factor, is more ergonomic, etc. The only benefit I saw to the 964 is the "moxy." Air-cooled, 911, "classic" status, etc. Those don't mean much to me. My decision was easy.
Whoa... no one said one is better than the other, they're both good cars, just different. It's not a contest.

Just want to experience them both and I'm 50% there.

Cheers!
