I had the opposite feeling. I found the 993 to be very mushy. Like the car was getting suddenly softer from the 964. Not nearly as sharp.
And while the 996 felt to me like it was disconnected in comparison to the air-cooled cars that came right before, fast is fast when you're talking about the one Porsche that's actually raced. I mean with the 996 you had total amateur weekend racers coming within a couple of seconds of professional 996 Cup Car lap times. That's nuts.
The 996 was a huge step forward in racing department.
