the 75S i ended up with that had a junk motor was more fun to drive the 100 or so miles that i piloted it before putting in a spicy 3.oL that the G50 3.2 could ever be. 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.
as much as i hated the 996TT at the time, kinda wish i still had it now where I'm at in life and live.

I've found each one of them to be personal. I owned an 89 Targa that was EXACTLY as you described; a heavy, lumbering pig. Couldn't sell it fast enough. My current SC is wonderful, but doesn't compare to how fast and quick my son's breathed on and lightened 88 Coupe is. I love that 3.2, but it's totally different than my car with it's juiced 3.0
My 09 TT was a different animal. No comparing one to the other in any way, except name.
