993 does not feel very dated if you upgrade the suspension. It's a fine car.
I'm curious . . . what would you suggest doing to the 993 suspension Grant?
The stock suspension has German-made Monroe shocks & struts and they are lousy (and useless after 40,000 miles).
Most basic upgrade would swap the Monroes for Bilstein HD shocks and struts with either factory M030 springs or aftermarket H&R Red sport springs (my preference). I set the ride height to Euro 993RS height plus 10mm on both axles (a bit lower than Euro Carrera height).
Then changing to ROW 993TT sway bars (or adjustable ones, even better) is a nice upgrade.
Many folks like the adjustable Bilstein PSS9 or PSS10 shocks over the HD's (similar quality with adjustability) and if you're making a track car, then consider KW, Moton, JRZ, etc.
A strut brace is an easy and effective upgrade too.
Make sure you get a good alignment and corner-balance too. Many shops don't know how to set the kinematic toe adjustment in the rear suspension, so seek an expert.
