It is the fastest normally aspirated Porsche, 0-60, that we have ever driven. While all this strum and drang is slowly being fed through your mental computer, you must also come to grips with the information that it gets 27 MPG in the highway test. It is thus terribly fast and surprising economical. A remarkable blending of opposing virtues. - Car and Driver, 1978 The 1974–89 911s offer strong value because they are nice, reliable, and affordable Porsches that can still be used as everyday cars. The 911 SC, which followed the 2.7, is thought by many to be one of the best 911s built. When the 3.0-liter SC engine was introduced in 1978, mechanics hailed it as a big step forward. There had been a variety of troubling and costly repairs with the 2.7-liter powerplants. Because the newer engine solved so many problems, the 3.0-liter 911 SCs carry a substantial premium over earlier cars. This could make a 2.7-liter 911 a tempting purchase, but buyers can’t fix much of what can go wrong with the money they save. The 2.7-liter 911 is still a fine car and many owners have enjoyed them without problems for years. However, that is not the case with most owners. If you are a prospective buyer for one of these cars, you should consider how much more reliable the 3.0-liter engine is. I know of one SC that has logged over 450,000 miles without any major engine work. - Excellence Magazine, 2010 Riding shotgun in a raging, spitting, hair-trigger 911SC is just about the most awful and impossible way there is to remain passive. This 911SC, this thing, could draw screams from the pope. Confronted with streaming, onrushing impedimenta, even the most stolid passengers collapse into beyond-the-pale-of-reason seizures of fright. ‘This is like a roller coaster,’ they whimper. ‘I hate roller coasters.’ But the 911SC is addictive. - Car and Driver, 1980
