I had a 996 C4S until recently. It seemed to handle pretty well. But the car I drove most before it was a 90s AudiS2 which is hardly known for driving dynamics.
Got rid of it more because it was a tiptronic and it sucked. Sold it within a week though and didn't lose anything, so they seem sought after still.
Despite the fact my #1 car to own since I was 12 has been a 993, I've never driven an air cooled porsche so can't compare :-)

The wide body 996s and 993s look great, especially the 993S which is just so fat and low, so they’re more valuable. The first time I saw a 993 Turbo on the road, I was 16 and it was black, I couldn’t believe how fucken cool it looked. It was my absolute dream car, until I got one. (A few years ago when they weren’t £100k).
Have a go in a narrow [manual] 996 and you’ll understand. They’re so much lighter to steer, turn in so much quicker and ride so much better. The C4S tramlines, fights you over every camber and rides like you’re being bounced up the road on a scaffold board.
By comparison of course. Against an Audi a C4S steers like an Elise. :)

Whut?
Putting a £30k motor in the worst handling 911 ever made?
Daftness level = pro. Good on him.
