I can relate. I have yet to drive an air cooled 911 but even driving a newer Carrera gives you a similar feeling. It's funny that while driving it you're completely aware that it's really not all that fast compared to other cars but the handling is euphoric, the steering is tight, and it's stiff enough to read the road without being uncomfortable. The interior feels like it's designed by someone who actually enjoys driving. The funny little things that make it a Porsche. The key on the wrong side from the early days of Le Mans, the motor in the back, and the realization that you're in a car built with a purpose, driver enjoyment. A Porsche purist may hang me for saying it but it's the closest thing I've found to my Miata without any of the short comings of the Miata. Plus it can handle your daily commute without being incredibly inconvenient.
In regards to being pricey......I wanted a 4S trunk for my 996 I'm buying. Spent $500 on the trunk thinking the reflector would be cheap. Turns out the trunk reflector is $1000. Crazzzzyyyyyy!
Glad to see you're make some progress on your 964! Get some pictures posted!
