SC
Although I AGREE with you all Super Carerra sounds better. I have only seen references to it meaning the 911 standard car. The idea that you cant have a standard model of a Porsche because it is a high end car is utterly ridiculous ...

The nomenclature goes back to the 356 SC, was again used for the sainted 73 Carrera RS (which were officially desingated and SC's) and was revived for the 3 liter SC in 78. It never stood for Std Car.

Straight from the horses mouth....
This is from the website of porsche.co.uk:
"In the model year of 1978 the Carrera was dropped from the programme, the new model SC, apart from the turbo, was now the only car to fly the 911 flag. The letters SC stood for Super Carrera but also recalled the type 356 which had the same suffix. The bodywork with its wide rear wings also corresponded to the former Carrera format. The bonnet hid a three-litre engine which, at 180 HP, was 20 HP less than the Carrera, but mainly due to detoxification measures in the form of secondary air injection, which was also augmented for US market exemplars with a catalytic converter. "
I'm glad its not 'Standard Car' because i've just bought one
