You seem to know these cars pretty well, any other pearls you'd like to share?

The 964s have been very reliable for the most part. The updated coilover suspension was a huge upgrade for the 911 and this was the first twin plug "production" model. I'm sure you're aware of the head gasket (or lack of them) issue, though this car likely falls within the range. The 964 was also the first 911 to sport ABS and power steering.; the shift mechanism is also vastly improved from the prior series. My last 964 was an RS America, which was modified for track use, but looked fairly stock from the exterior. They are still a popular track car due to the modern suspension and decent power.

Enjoy and let us know your thoughts after your fun drive!
