IMO, since HP/Tq of FL car has gotten more respectable, and previous X-51 wasn't really a "must have" because it cost three times what it was worth; my guess is newest X-51 is even less attractive as an option.

You obviously never owned the the X51 package. It made the 997 an even better car, and was well worth the money. Awesome car!

I'll reserve judgement on the next package until I see what it is.






The powerkit X51 is like another model above the Carrera S. It is like you have the 345HP Carrera , 385HP carrera S and 415HP Carrera SS (oops sorry I didn't mean anything bad here ).
All powerkitted cars throughout Porsche history (993, 996,997, Turbos etc) are special cars with totally different power characteristics. If Porsche marketed it as a separate Model in the carrera range and not as just another option, demand would have been much higher.
