But otherwise I'm with you, +1. |
I drove my 3.2 then an SC 3.0 back to back. The 3.2 feels much quicker in a straight line. I was not expecting such a difference after reading many posts comparing the two cars.

I know it woudl be cheaper to sell the car and just get one with a 3.2 or 3.6 but I love my car.

I think you missed the power toothbrush...or do you still have the manual model?

Why are you guys giving me a hard time about my sig? I shortened it but its only going to get longer. Imagine what it will look like in 10 years when I turn 40.

If your sig is 10-20X longer than your post, an adjustment may be in order. Just MO, ianc |
How'a my sig now...everybody happy?
|
Better. Thanks. ;)

Interesting thread.
Regarding users sigs; I prefer them to list the Porsche's they own and drive and any major mods done to them. Also links if they are affiliated with a Porsche related business. Any other info tends to smack of bragging (to me anyway, I mean who cares how many other expensive toys you own? This is a Porsche board right?). All my humble opinion. :) Eric |
am I OK then? My other toys are not expensive, quite the opposite in fact. I only list them to say I have other interests and have had PMs from that alone.
My favorite of all time though was another Pelican, a woman I think, thought the sig line was silly so they put down their vacuum cleaner !!! -Chris |
Seems like it would be a lot cheaper to just get one of these instead of an engine swap.
|
Amen.
I always thought it would help very much if people list their location and what type/year Porsche they own in their signature. Whatever you owned in the past is of no interest and consequence; it's just unnecessary bragging; not classy at all. :cool: What possible purpose is served by listing the by-goners? :( Hmmm.....maybe I should list my long-gone 14" Fisherman's special with a 10 HP motor? :D Or the 1967 Volvo 123 GT? Would that impress anyone? :confused: |
I just want to thank everyone who has high jacked my thread.

I've driven both and I don't think there is much of a difference. It's not like you jump in a 1984 and older and go wow that is faster. Its only a little bit so if you do it's not much of a difference!
|
who really gives a crap what he puts in his signiature. You all sound like a bunch of teen-age girls.

To do a little anti thread hijacking:
Yes, the 3.2 is somewhat faster than the 3.0, but it can depend on the particular model. Later model US 3.0's were 204 HP, while US spec 3.2's were around 215 (ROW 231). Not that big of a difference, although unless you're at the track, torque is more important, and the 3.2 has a little more here as well. I notice it more on the freeway when I nail it. 3.2 has better injection and gets better fuel economy, although it is more complex and more difficult to troubleshoot. It also (and I may get grilled on this, but I feel it's true) doesn't have the throttle response of a 3.0 with CIS. HTH, ianc |
slantnose,
I am facing the same decision. I read this article a while back - http://www.pelicanparts.com/techarticles/911_engine_rebuild/911_engine_rebuild2.htm. I got a $10-$12k estimate to perform the rebuild suggested. Based on this article, will the results really be that insignificant? I also saw tech column in Excellence Magazine that had an estimate of 22k for a 3.0 rebuild ... nearly double the car's value. Recently I have been leaning toward selling my SC and upgrading to a 964. Although I prefer the looks of the SC, it just seems more practical to get a different car. cheers |
