Um, yeah... kind of like all of the backdated Carrera's (3.2 models that is).:cool:

stormmaster 02-02-2009 03:30 PM
That was my point....I backdated my Carrera 3.2 to a 74 Carrera(sorta).....NOT to an SC

Yes, but of course my point was that no one was backdating 964's or 993's to late model Carrera's either:p

Yes the 3.2, 964, and 993 do have a bit of a reputation for needing valve guides sooner than the SC.

But, what do you expect. With more HP there is more heat and the exhaust valves take most the load. ;)

Hi SC plotters.

Looks like you all are running scared... We over at 32carrera expected that.

Sad is when an SC owner changes the badge to Carrera, and we 3.2 owners see that every now and then. Some of you even add a third brake light. For looks, not really. To copy a newer Carrera.... Oh yeah...:p

Although I originally wanted an 83 Cabrio, I fell in love with a great 89...

It truly must have been devistating for "SC" owners when Porsche decided to launch the final, definitive, most powerful and refined generation of the 911 and name it Carrera. I pitty the poor fella that shelled out a boatload of dough for his SC in 1983 and realized only a few short months later that he had to drive around with the SC or "Sub-Carrera" designation.

It is no wonder you guys have such an inferiority complex. SC's really are almost "as good as" Carreras. I personally love SC's. You simply got shafted by a badge... a little more horsepower, better brakes, chain tensioners that won't fail, a better fuel delivery system, better gas milage, more torque, more speed, better reliability and a more rubust and reliable transmission on the G50's.

It is all good though brothers!

Funny that the carrera 'superiority' doesn't add up where it matters...on the racetrack. Take a look at PCA stock 'E' class, where SCs are pitted directly against the carreras. I think you'd be surprised at typical race results. When I started building a car for E class, I was advised to steer clear of the carreras if I wanted to be competitive.

Oh, sure. Rely on FACTS! We Carrera owners are not bothered by facts! We go with our gut! We're about moxie and instinct and displaying the courage of lions! Fie on your facts, SC-driver! We will smite you!

Most PCA racers I believe end up carrying ballast.

It would not have anything with the extra 100 to 200 lbs the Carrera is required to carry. I think that is llike making you your girl-friend along for a ride with every race. ;)

Only the 81-83 RoW SC's run in E with the carreras. All other SC's run in D. The 200 lbs is to offset the extra hp. that the carreras have which evens up the lb/hp ratio. That said, I'd take less weight over hp given an even lb/hp ratio.

The same can be said for the final year of the 356 ... or the 964 ... or the 996. And yet each of the guys who owns one of these "defective" cars when they were outdone by the next iteration are likely still happy and proud to have one. We all love our Porsches or we should just sell them and buy a Hyundai.

3rd_gear_Ted 02-03-2009 03:52 PM
I would say that the obesity plauge that is so prevalent in our society was started by the Carrera model coming to the USA. The hybrid circuts in the Voyager satellite are still working and so is my CIS. Carrera means race in spanish, not plush. You haven't lived till you had the tail end of an SC raise up on you @ speed. ;)

stormmaster 02-03-2009 04:56 PM
Sounds like you need a Carrera spoiler if your tail end is rising up on you at speed ....

What's with all the dents in the door of that POS...clearly seen in the reflection. Must be one of those PCA racers with ballast.

Wouldn't sell my 32c 911 but would like to see the Genesis Coupe with 306 hp track package that has

• 19-inch alloy wheels / summer tires
• BremboŽ braking system
• Track-tuned suspension
• TorsenŽ limited-slip differential

Plus all the daily toys to use...:cool:

They even have nordschleife GRAY colour that looks great. Not a Porsche but my fondness of coupes may make this a worthy daily driver

My post on page 3 was tongue in cheek, but I think it may not have come off the way I intended. Please accept my apology.

For the record: I think SC's ROCK! Moreover, I would trade my well worn 175,000 mile 1987 Carrera in a heartbeat for an SC in better shape. All of us fortunate enough to be driving any model 911 should count our blessings...

Sincerely,
