A neighbor who has a 72E brought was walking by the house yesterday with a friend of his from Seattle who owns a 3.0liter SC (sorry I don't recall what year). His friend saw my RS replica parked in the driveway and was interested in it. They both knocked on my door, and we got to talking. Eventually he relayed to me how disappointed he was in the performance of his SC. He really thought it was quite slow. I kind of thought SC's could move along pretty well with all the topics on this BBS about them. Anyway, eventually I took him for a ride in mine, and got on it good in 1st, 2nd and 3rd gear and took him home. Well, he definitely thinks my car has got tons of power, and really pulls through all the gears. Granted this is a 2200 lb car with with a 240hp warmed over 3.2 Motronic.
I told him a set of SSI's and dual inlet exhaust could help his SC, and an even better upgrade would be installing a 7:31 R&P with a taller 5th gear.
So what's everyone's experience out there with SC's. Are they the "slug" this guy suggests?
