I hear this all the time about the SC (3.0) verus Carrera (3.2).
This is what I know............and it ain't much.

1.'84 thru '86 has a 915 transmission. Racers like the transmission and waxers don't. The engines had decent valve guides. My '86 has over 107K and does not burn a drop.

'87 thru mid '89 has a G50 transmission. Racers as rule don't use em' and waxers like em' . The engines had so-so valve guides. My nieghbor has an '88 with 74K and had to do valves.

Pick you poison.

I always stick with coupes, much easier to sell when the time comes. I always by the cars with a 915 transmission. Cheaper to repair and lighter. O.K.....so the shifting is not perfect like a G50............I'll live with it.

* Make sure you buy Peter Zimmermans book on Porsche purchase.
