I’ve had both.
A brand new SC and a brand new 3.2 were comparable.
35-45 years later, the 3.2 is the better car to own, for one simple reason some have already mentioned:
Motronic.
CIS is ‘60s technology. And by 78 for the US was a bit of a Rube Goldberg-esqe system with a bunch of add on and compensators. Including the 78/79 air injection system, pump, octopus etc.
Motronic is the exact opposite. Elegant in its simplicity. Reliable and easy to diagnose and repair problems. Parts are all available and dirt cheap.
IMO it’s the peak injection system for DIY.
Digital, but with a minimum number of parts and can be diagnosed pretty much with a simple multimeter.
