Some comparisons here.... Both cars have 188lb/ft torque Carrera 2.7 at 5100 rpm . MFI , 210 bhp , 7300 rev limit , 1075 kg Carrera 3.0 at 4200 rpm . CIS , 200 bhp , 6750 ? , 1100 + kg Personally I prefer the rawness of the higher revving MFI RS engine...... with of course that fabulous sound !

I see Josh Sadler at Autofarm has a 75 Carrera 2.7 at £48,000.
That makes 4 currently for sale in the UK at prices
between £48,000 and £52,500.
Possibly higher here now than in Germany where the action started.

Hi Brian
Nice Carrera. Unusual to see the US version with the 911/83 MFI engine.
May I make a couple of observations.....
The ride height looks very high. Are you running 50 series profiles ?
Should have the front spoiler , while a ducktail or teatray will
improve the high speed handling no end.
