in my estimation the more civilized they became the less fun per mile was experienced IMO. the 3.2 felt heavy, lethargic, and grossly under powered compared to my SC even in it's original stock form.
the driving experience changed greatly over the run of the G bodied cars.

Point well taken. I've never driven a G50 3.2, but I understand exactly what you're saying. My first air cooled 911 was a 964, and I hated it for the same reasons. It felt heavy, oppressive and totally uninspiring. Fast forward past a 997 and 993 to my recently purchased '78 SC. It feels so much lighter and quicker. The steering is so much more connected than the power assist of my 964, and I just feel like I can toss the car around a lot easier. It gets on the revs so much faster and just seems to hit the power band sooner. And I can't believe how straight it tracks. I can literally let go of the steering wheel at 80 mph on an open road, and the car doesn't veer a bit in either direction.
