- In model year 1978, the 911 model range was reduced to two models. The 911 SC (Super Carrera) took the place of the 911 and Carrera models.
As of model year 1984, the SC version was again replaced by the 911 Carrera.Surrounds/door handles
Until model year 1978, the window surrounds and door handles of the 911 SC were chrome-plated, like those of the previous 911 models; as of model year 1979, they were anodized black - as in the Carrera models.Wheels
The 911 SC was fitted with 15" cast aluminium wheels from ATS as standard.Exterior mirrors
The exterior mirrors of the 911 SC were electrically adjustable and painted in the exterior color.Engines
The 911 SC was powered by a 3.0-liter flat engine, the output of which was increased slightly over the years.- model year 1978-79 - 3.0 liters, 180 hp
- model year 1980 - 3.0 liters, 188 hp

my Los Angeles 911SC brawler has 455k miles...yes, a beauty indeed.
I'm pondering buying a local 911SC. This video didn't do anything in terms of talking me out of it. What a gem. Great video.
@@matthewday1242 glad I helped put a sting in the bank account 🤣
@SirDrifto haha! Exactly. I've owned 3 911s but not yet an air cooled. These SCs are only going up!
I have never thought of late 1970s and 1980s 911s as vintage. To me they are ageless. Owned and thoroughly enjoyed my 911SC for five years from 2000. Loved every minute of it! So much fun. Loved the 'unique futuristic whirring sound' of the air cooled flat six!
They didn’t make the SC in 1989. The 911SC “Super Carrera” was manufactured from 1978 to 1983. Beginning in 1984 it was called a “Carrera”.
Well done. Great to see another Coloradan our driving an air cooled who fully understands exactly what these cars bring to the table.
Thanks for watching!
WOW!! What a throwback hearing about the best Porsche video game! I also played « driving » almost every day and still miss it to this day… Got to find that somewhere! Thanks for the memories… and entertaining classic cars content. Cheers
Although, I drive daily a BMW M4 with 6speed... I also own a sweet little 100% original all black 1985 3.2 coupe with factory rear tail.
I ❤️ my 911 Carrera!
I don't know why you would say although like it's a negative. The m4 with a manual is truly the last modern Sportscar. Great daily choice 👌
Love my air cooled 911. Nothing comes close to the rush of driving one.
What year is yours
@@SirDrifto It is a 1977 S TWB 2.7 CIS g15
Nice video. Looks like Colorado. You nailed what it's like to drive an 80's Porsche. Love those sounds...
This is a really great video. It's very hard to to capture the actual experience of driving one of these via a video, but this comes as close as I've seen. The sight of just the road in your lap with just the wings visible is shown well here along with the glorius engine sounds well recorded. I can best describe the sound is great mix of induction, exhaust, and gear whine with the ever present fan spool-up thrown in. Lots of guys try to get this sound captured both inside and outside the car and they go by driving like grandpa short shifting the engine, so I'm glad you properly drive the car. Let her rip and the soundtrack ensues. A great example of epic driving enjoyment from some of the best 200 horses put to the pavement.
You explained it to a T. I agree. Nothing compares to the sound of these. And thank you!
Lovely watch . Great presenter , beautiful scenery and a glorious 911
Awesome cars! Reliable. Love my 82 SC
Well said!! Couldn't described my air cooled 911 better myself!
Such a cool video. It shows that you love driving this car.
I own an 1989 Carrera 3.2, so I know exactly why you love aircooled Porsches.
Enjoy it!! 👍
Bumper lights? What tha….NO!
Actually Air Cool d 911’s we’re relatively cheap 10years ago… you could pick up a good G-body or 964 for $15k-20k all day. Really that pretty affordable. Now we’re triple that.
Its amazing how times have changed.
talk about 930s! $100k all day. thankfully you can get lucky with a sc sometimes.
911 Porsche for Ever ❤😅😂😊
Best car to ever come out of Germany? Hey, slow down Tiger, what about Hitler's Mercedes 770? 7.665 litre, straight-eight, overhead cam with aluminium pistons. Various supercharging options up to 400 bhp. Armour-plated. Four to five-ton. That was a driver's car too, anybody get in your way you drove over or through them! Joking aside, I kind of agree with you. I did some classic rallying in a 911 and just loved it. The roar of that engine bellowing through the bulkhead, the grip, the strength, it would take a four-wheel-drive to beat us. You're never alone with an air-cooled motor. I like to kid myself that my flat-twin Beemer (motorbike) is one third of the Porsche you're driving. Good film.
If only I could test drive that Mercedes 770! 🤣 . And of course there's many amazing cars that cake out of Germany. I'm just a sucker for a classic 911.
❤❤❤❤❤
You’re lugging that poor thing!😢
Great video, thank you.
Absolutely beautiful car. Actually got an 80s Porsche ourselves recently. Gotta ask, what’s the exhaust on that 911? She sounds phenomenal!
I wish I knew
Great video. But how could you miss hundreds of videos showing which additional front lights are Porsche 911 appropriate and where to mount them?
Nice video.
911 SUPER COOL!
Air cool life 😎
nice
Seat belts 🕵🏾💯
If it’s a 3.0 liter SC it’s not a 1989. Only made 1978-1983. 1984-1989 has to be a Carrera 3.2 liter.
My 86 Carrera came with seatbelts!😬Not much in front of you. I’m guessing no seatbelt law where you are?
I have a 1980 SC Targa - looks like you have too much oil in it ! I try for 1\2 to 3/4 on the gauge when hot !
Sender is a little gummed up. It flickers all over the place. It's being replaced as I type this.
So You’re a Pilot !!!!
911 SC 3.2 G50 cars were low teens in the early 2000s...
SC owner here. Yes it is a driver’s car. But it’s not perfect. It’s damn near impossible to heel-toe this car, unlike other European cars. All the pedals are misaligned with the driver’s body, offset to the right. Incredible car otherwise. Visceral, manly.
why is the speedometer rotated? :)
to make it seem like you're going faster.
So you can see when you get to the illegal mph through the smaller than stock steering wheel.
Just prior to Joe Biden taking office, my wife and I were looking at Porsche Boxster's about a decade plus old. You could get one a decent shape with a reasonable amount of miles on it for about seven or eight grand. A couple of years later the price had gone up about 40%. It was unreal. Even my 2019 Chevy Silverado which I bought with 5,000 miles on it for 42k went all the way up to 52k 2 years after my purchase. I see now finally used cars are coming back down.
A Porsche 911 was always my fantasy car, but if you get one too old, you are giving up some performance. If you get a newer one, you're going to break the bank or at least mine.
Great points! Boxters are fantastic cars. I've been told the market will soften this coming year. One can always hope! Don't give up getting a Porsche. And agreed on the newer the more performance aswell.
Did you miss the promotion: To buy a Porsche is always too early. To the moment it is too late?
Sooooo overvalued its not a funny. These were high cost maintenance cheap cars 10 yrs ago for good reasons. Like $6500. I’ll take the GTI. Got a 92 GTI 16v that I adore. Since 98! Love this. Cannot afford the 911, but if I win powerball?
Yeah that definitely is a negative about this series of cars.
