I had a 2012 991 S that I felt was under powered, and had lacked handling. As a frame of reference I had a 2010 GT3RS and have a 2011 GT2 RS. The 2013 991 S configured as above is a beast. It would have run down my GT3RS. Those that have questioned the merits of the X51 big difference getting back on the throttle, more torque and it also pulls right up to the rev limiter. Also not sure if it is all PDCC/SPASM or better tuning in the 2013 ECU and PDK but much improved handling and pdk shifting.

My x51 package will be a turbo in about 10 months.

Impressive build. Love the painted dash and center console. But what's the deal with the front spoiler? Maybe its the camera angle, but it looks like the curb should have crunched the spoiler, or its not yet installed, or something?

That is super good to hear. My upcoming C4S will have a similar configuration including the X51. I don't feel like I am throwing money away anymore.

Nice built, congrats. I agree, if you go for an S, x51 is the way to go to differentiate enough from the base model.

I'm wondering why no leather interior while you have other expensive options?
I notice, when the seats configured with seat ventilation, you only get single stitching line (instead of double) along the lower sides.

Nicely done! The painted sport technos look so nice. I'm trying to get them painted for my build but so far it's still unavailable. When did you place the order for yours?

Congrats! Excellent build.

Please do compare both with/without X51 since you have had both. Cheers!!

It is plastic piece that is dealer installed. actually two pieces and the lower spliter is meant to be replaced as needed like on gt2/gt3 RS

It should have had full leather that was an oversight on my part and it also was supposed to have white deviated stitching but when you get the build confirmation it didn;t list color so I missed it.

It was a late sept 2012 dealer allocation but X51 held it up

I take it the x51 kit can be retrofitted
