I've owned a 1979 SC and now own a 1989 Carrera 3.2. Between those two cars, the last of the 3.2 is by far the choice and worth the premium. The 3.2 is a lot faster and the G50 transmission seriously enhances the driving experience, while the ventilation is dramatically improved. Even bigger/better brakes. I certainly enjoyed the SC, though.
A Carrera with the 915 transmission, lower horsepower, aftermarket wheels, no receipts -- I don't know. In this case, I think the SC wins out simply because it has receipts and you know what's going on. This is worth perhaps 5 to 10 thousand dollars in "insurance".
Odd comments on the thread about an SC being lighter than a Carrera. Porsche quotes both at US spec as weighing the same. Old Road & Track figures say 2740 for an SC and 2756 for a Carrera 3.2 (with 915 transmission). If you're driving an SC and somehow it feels faster and more lively on its feet than a 3.2, then there's something not right with the 3.2.
