“Over the past 25 odd years, I’ve owned no less than five air-cooled 911s. It’s rare for me to be without one for more than about five years. And since I sold my last one (an ’82 SC coupe) in 2014, it seemed like I was well overdue. My 968, while entertaining, wasn’t as kid-friendly as a 911 — the 944-style curved rear seat bottoms found on an early 968 don’t accommodate a booster seat very well.

Any true driver will close on a manual 996 coupe immediately after driving one. Author is very correct, the 996 lives solely in a lightweight, visceral race-car-for-the-street zone that is almost impossible to replicate apart from $300K+ GT’s or hypercars. The 996 is hands down the greatest road car platform ever manufactured by Porsche. Drive a 996 GT3 and you will sell your house to buy it.
Well Said Ben!
