I am in a rare camp, it seems.
I, in order of G body preference, go 3.2, 3.0, 2.7 all day long - I've driven many stock and tuned examples of each.
I get that they rev up a little quicker but there is no way a 2.7 0-60 in 8.4 seconds car is gonna 'feel' better to me than my 3.2 (chipped) that I can personally do 5.9 on a country road in. Esp with a set up. Oh - and mine's a targa and still, despite the obvious creaking, feels better than the 2.7s I've driven - in good nick btw
I don't have the fastest car out there and we all have to choose our own feel vs speed sweet spot - but even after driving a 3.0 with the 964 cams and SSIs etc - I was underwhelmed on the back roads compared to my almost stock 3.2. and that was a lightened coupe! It's also why driving perfect tune longhood 911T is ok but not near the joy of a 3.2.
YMMV
Oh - for all that - a narrow G body roller with lightweight everything and 3.2SS -- YES PLEASE - best of ALL worlds - and I also want a 912 next - but that's because a 2.7 is to -- what's the word - middie - neither her nor there. I have WAY more fun in 912 than 2.7 middie
