Yes, the old 911s were much more fun to drive. It's all about communication and the old cars were talking to you all the time through everything you touched. They were great drivers cars. Not to mention they were about 800 pounds lighter than they are now. The new cars are great, fast machines, but they've lost alot of the driver connection.
Keep in mind that from the doors forward, the 986 and the 996 are exactly the same car. When someone says they are completely different cars, that's not really true.
