There is something "special" about an air cooled 911. The smells, sounds, feel, it's all "strong". Add the fact it was a "mostly" hand built sports car and they are something special
From the clunk of the door closing, to the "hot engine" smell of oil, and the steering feel, it's an experience. I had a 90 964 C2 as a daily driver for 8 years in the northeast, snow unless deep wasn't a problem, great heat in the winter, but traffic was an issue (don't want to look like popeye with the huge clutch leg)
Now, my 987.2 Cayman S is faster and more comfortable. There's a lot to be said for AC that works (the 964 had like a baggy of ice cubes held 10 feet away with a fan blowing over the baggy.... not effective), head lights that are modern (964 headlights were old technology, closer to candles under glass), BUT there was something special about an aircooled 911........
Until the 911 gets rear ended by a mini-van school bus........ my biggest issue with a daily driver 911.......
