To me the G50 is a no-brainer, especially v.s. an SC. The Motronic has also more tuning potential than the SC, where 250HP+ is relatively easily achievable with bolt on modifications. If you need AC, this system was also better on the Carrera's. The UK magazine tested an SC against a G50, and the G50 was a significant faster car with much better throttle response, and a more modern car feel. The conclusion was that the Carrera felt like a very quick car, even by today's standard.

I thought the Carreras (84-86/87-89) were all 217 bhp (US). The UK test with Euro models may have yielded different results from the US spec as I believe the Euro Carreras were 231 bph. Unless I am mistaken.
I've been told the 3.0 is more nimble and better throttle response due to its lighter weight, even though the 3.2 is 37 bhp more. Anybody know the weight difference between the two? Does it make up for it weight vs hp or is one just more responsive from being lighter while the other just feels heavier with more hp? I was thinking that maybe the 3.2/915 may be more responsive with more bhp and lighter due to having lesser weight than the G50.
