964 vs. 3.2 again...
Discussion
Hey,
I'm looking for my first air cooled Porsche, I've now driven a C2 manual and, today a 3.2 with a G50 box. And now I'm stuck!
I seem to remember the 964 having a bit more power low down? You have to work the 3.2 over 4k to get something out of it, does this ring true with people who have more experience than me?
I liked the 3.2 today, it was a good example that has been really well maintained. It's just that lack of low down power. Although, once used to the car, this wouldn't be an issue I'm assuming?
Any help would be appreciated, I know this topic has been done before, but I'm still unsure.
Thanks

I've just realised I haven't updated my garage! Boxster and S3 have gone. The 911 will be replacing a 987.2 Cayman S.
Would price come into for you? For example, the 3.2 I drove is up for £35k, it's a good example, not concours, but all the rust has been sorted and the car was mechanically sound. It also came with one the meatiest history folders I've seen. Most 964 now seem to be £40k. Which is annoying as I've wanted one for a while but needed to sort other things out before changing cars.
I'm edging towards the 964 if I'm honest, it's still a lot more raw than what I'm used to, but still is quite refined compared to the 3.2. I will be using the car for long journeys at times and just running about. Going for a B road blast isn't what I'd be doing the most in the car. If it was, I think the 3.2 would be the ticket!
