At the risk of being corrected by someone more knowledable than me (not hard admittedly)
The sequence of top of the range, homologation specials for WSB racing was as follows, and you will see where the SP3 fits in. Tuned engines, higher spec suspension and brakes than the standard models of the respective years.
916 SP in 1994
916 SP2 in 1995
916 SP3 in 1996
916 SPS in 1997 and 1998
996 SPS in 1999 and 2000
Some people believe the year 2000 SPS with Ohlins forks was the best, whereas others, Nelly at Cornerspeed believe the SP3 is the most collectable with the most frenetic engine of the pre stretta engines.
Hope that explains things.
