87 was a transitional year so not all 87's had the G50.
Personally I think the G50 vs 915 is a bit overblown, I have a 915 and don't mind the transmission at all. This is a bit anecdotal, but it seems that the 84-86 cars have fewer valve guide issues.
I purchased the 3.2 first, and still love driving the car.

I had an 89 Silver Anniversary Edition with 14k miles. It was great fun. No power steering. You could feel it when you drove over a dime. Crazy HVAC system with levers all over the place and the shifter is really old school.
If you have a 993, I am not sure why you would want one of these. Would you want to concours it?
That's what I would be doing if I still had the 3.2

I had a 79 930 with some nice upgrades. It is now back in Europe.
The 930 is a grat car. Very fast on boost. But, how often do you actually get to drive it that way on the street. Not too often. It really does not make a good dd. Nice car to have an drive every once in a while.
This is my third 993 I have owned, and it is a much better car overall.
Not as fast as the 930, but I enjoy it more.
With that said, I which I had my old speed yellow X50 TT 996 back.

I couldn't be happier with my 94 3.6....however, I still miss my 87 G50 and the RSA. They were both a lot of fun in different ways.

a 3.2 Carrera and a 993 Yes
a 3.2 Carrera only No.
I agree though the shifter is like one of bugs bunny's ears the 915 is fine you just have to understand it.
they do eat parts if you don't understand it. A balk ring synchromesh wasn't a fast easy shifting trans.

+1. That is a super sharp 3.2 IMHO. LOVE the stance on that one. I've often thought about one of these as a DD. I'd like a silver targa setup just like this red coupe.

I loved my 84 but wouldn't trade it for my 95. As many others have said it would be nice to have both. The 3.2 has a nice rawness to it. Good luck with the purchase.

I love my fact.w body 85 as much as my 95. The 993 is certainly faster but I must say that I enjoy the raw feel of the 85 more. If I had to decide between the two I honestly couldn't.

Yep, that's it. She was streaking across the front of a Road&Track magazine. That shape & color lit a fire in a 14 year old boy. And thus the madness began.
(If anyone has that approx 1987 issue, I'd love to see it, buy it, whatever!)
