The air cooled cars are sooo much more tactile than the 986/996 and newer. The new cars have higher limits, but that's useless on a street driven car.
I'd have chosen an even older model, like an SC, no power steering and about 300 pounds lighter, but I love to drive any of the older models. Oh that engine music.
The air cooled cars also have that really solid build construction that Porsche built their reputation on. Look at the difference between closing the door on an older 911 to a newer one and you'll know what I mean. Not to say they were flawless, but they were built with less of a concern for cost.
I understand that the 964 AWD system tends to understeer more than most people preferred, but I've driven through the mountains briskly following a 964 C4 and although I could gain a little here and there, I'd say he wasn't struggling with excessive understeer.
