I'm of the opinion that if Porsche had continued to make the 993 but with a water-cooled 996 engine instead, along with all other 'under the skin' 996 updates, such that you could not tell the difference from the outside, and sold these new 993's at 20K units per year, the air-cooled 993's would not be nearly as valueable today. And more so if the 'water-cooled 993' brought back the classic 911 fenders of the 964.
