Check, you are clearly contradicting yourself here. There is such instance as a slow walk .....keep walking
Please take note that I have not at any time mentioned what happens from the 3rd gear henceforth, it is without a doubt that everyone agrees that a turbo will almost annihilate any Carrera S. Your neighbour's 996TT cab is probably underperforming.
X51 is properly developed by Porsche with substantial hardware and software developments for the ultimate streetable naturally aspirated 911 with rear seats for the street. IMHO, it is definitely worth every penny spent.
I presume the dreamers you are refering to are those that think that any lower cost aftermarket solution could better the 'peace of mind' option from Porsche....think again.
Slow walk, pulls away, whatever... we all know that the X51 package is more powerful than a non-equipped one, so what. Like many personal options with our 911's, one has to ask whether or not it's worth the price of admission. And that my friend is totally subjective, nothing more, nothing less. I think I speak for -at least some others, when I state that because we don't subscribe to your X51 theory doesn't make us "dreamers" ; realists, maybe, but not "dreamers" . For that matter, would it lessen our opinion if we were dreamers. Does that suggest that you have a pocket full of cash, therefore you're not a dreamer. Even, if that were the case, would it matter? Sorry, just don't understand you responses.
I, personally, don't think there is a viable alternative to Porsche's fine performance package; e.g. the X51. I just plain and simply don't believe it is worth it. It SHOULD be standard on the S and the Carrera should have the S's power. However, I'm a dreamer, so don't pay any attention to my ramblings.
