Is a '98 a bad thing?

[Clueless]

I've had my 98 since 25, 000 miles and now have 85000. The car has been serviced at the dealership. The clutch and IMS/rms were done at my time of purchase. The car has been a dream. Declined the coil packs and clutch change at 60,000 and the car still runs strong. No real issues.

I later bought a 2000 996 thinking I wanted more power. The 996 is a great car, but at autocross im faster in the 986. Although the plan was to sell the 986 and just can't give it up.
