The 915 based Carreras have really taken a beating on price in recent years, and don't really command much of a premium over late model SCs. G50 Carrea, on the other hand, still enjoy quite a price premium based on the perception that they are "better". This debate is not as as cut-and-dry as one might think, as the word is that a fresh 915 feels about as good as a G50, with a slight edge to the 915 for being lighter and having a better feeling clutch. Unfortunately, most of us have the worn out tired versions of the 915, making the G50 look much better by comparison.

Hopefully, it goes without saying - no Targas! Unless he like body flex on the track, that is.
