That does make sense. This is what the one author was saying, and it seems reasonable to me.

I'm not sure most G50 owners want to admit where their cars should be priced. Many feel they are worth a premium over older 915 trans cars. To me, I'd simply want to find the best example in my price range, G50 or 915 wouldn't matter to me.
Good advice. When I start driving them, I'm sure the best example in my price range will win out. That's the most important thing to me - getting a solid car.

It would be interesting to drive the two transmissions back to back. Hopefully some will show up for sale around here in the spring so I can do some test driving. I have a close friend with an '80 SC coupe and he's let me drive his - I have to admit, shifting was not easy to get used to - that's what got me thinking of the G50 option....but certainly I can learn.
