Have driven plenty. Turbo lag is tiresome and unless they are setup right (which most aren't) it'll handle terribly too compared to driving a GT car. There is a reason Porsche make GT cars!
Older turbos have lag - market doesn't seem to careYou don't know how this car has been set up, even if wrong relatively cheap to fix
Maybe you got some sand in your vagina today, but seems like you should have just written "I don't like 964 turbos" and be done with it

It's all a matter of opinions and what each individual wants from a car.
I personally find the lag entertaining and for me it handles just fine.
I've had mine(only a 3.3) for 12 years and still love it and can't see myself ever selling it.
Good for you glad you enjoying it. I had s 930 turbo some years back and never really liked the way it drove but I guess that can be sorted now . Actually there is a clip on YouTube of one having a great battle with a 996 gt3. On the straigjts it leaves the gt3 for dead. The corners are a different matter however I personally find the lag entertaining and for me it handles just fine.

I like to think of the lag as part of the unusual quirkiness of these cars.
A bit like a wild cam in old escort.
Not a lot happens... then it goes a bit mad.
Very unrefined and a bit agricultural but a bloody good laugh.
Having just done 3k miles in mine it drives nothing like the above.A bit like a wild cam in old escort.

Quick enough down the low revs and then a nice linear build up of speed. Now my Cossie explodes into life!!
Unrefined and agricultural. Definitely not my experience of the car. I got out of it thinking wow that was easy and effortless.
