Part of me thinks they'll do better than many air-cooled cars.
Those pre-996 cars need expensive rebuilds, leak and can't be driven the way you'd drive a water-cooled dry sump.
In other words, keeping up a 993 will be costly and the car will have limited use when compared to the 996/997 GT's and Turbo that will be easier and less costly to maintain, , will provide more power but still with a manual trans. As a result the pool of people willing to invest in the upkeep may end up being bigger than the pool of 993 buyers. Specifically I'm thinking of the guys who will want to track/DE theirs while 993's will become rare birds at such events. And at the end of the day the water-cooled Mezgers were not produced in nearly the numbers that the street-engine 996/997/991 were. There's a certain sweet spot there for 996/997 GT3 and Turbo... kinda like the 964 being the first modern 911 but still with one foot in the old school of limited supply.
