Peter M Posted 1May, 2016 Report Share Posted 1May, 2016 What turbot said above .....There were a lot less Carrera 3.0's made and that is what makes them more valuable than an SC and a later 3.2 Carrera.As we all know ..... in the Porsche world ..... rare = $$$$$3.0L carrera utilised the turbo engine (minus the turbo obviously) and produced around 220 -230 BHP. SC's stock were around 204 BHP and not as lively, this is a key criteria as to why they are more desirable - the 3.0L Carreras as a result were the highest powered naturally aspirated 911 until the 3.2 carrera landed (road production cars that is). So this plus the limited numbers adds to the value equation. @Pork Chops you need to take one for a drive and I'm sure you will notice a difference in terms of engine dynamics/response. There is no doubt I'd like a c3.o but sometimes I think we overstate the difference with the SC's and maybe forget the extra power comes at the expense of torque at the rpm most of us drive at. Using Porsche data76' Carrera 3.oCompression ratio - 8.5:1200hp at 6000rpm255Nm at 4200rpm1120kg>230kph0 to 100kph - 6.5 seconds0 to 1km - 27 seconds81' SCCompression ratio - 9.8:1204hp at 5900rpm267Nm at 4300rpm1160kg 235kph0 to 100kph - 6.8 seconds0 to 1km - 26.8 seconds So definitely not chalk and cheese objectively but I don't underestimate the different feel of the lighter crank and peakier cam timing on making it feel "faster" and more exhilarating.

Coastr Posted 1May, 2016 Report Share Posted 1May, 2016 not the right tail for a 3.0 is it?Not only is it the correct tail, it's the best looking 911 tail ever produced- without the secondary grill that the 930s have. This tail also appeared on the US Spec 'Weissach' edition 911 SC, which were only available in platinum metallic and black metallic. Other SCs have the carrera tail fitted as an optional extra- though sorting through correct factory tails is a long and sordid affair.
