The 1983 Porsche 911SC (Super Carrera) 3.0 liter is a very important piece of the sporting heritage of the Porsche. Introduced in 1978, the SC has been refined from a decent car in 1978 (with engine performance inhibited by the emissions requirements of the era) to a great car in 1983 throughout its 6 year production cycle. The final production year SC is a very refined version of the SC and has all the updates: higher performance engine (about 180 horsepower for the US version), updated cam chain tensioners to eliminate failures, newer leather wrapped steering wheel, and many standard features like air conditioning, power windows, black trim (instead of chrome), reinforced valve covers, and many other minor details. It is quite a step up from the 70s 911s because of the refinements performed in the name of comfort, performance, and drivability; In typical German fashion of course!
