Default To those with X51 - did you special order?

I guess this question excludes the 50th anniversary model, but to those who otherwise have the X51 power kit option, did you special order or buy off the lot?

I can't imagine many dealers who spec out that expensive of an option for stock, maybe I'm wrong. However, I've been keeping my eyes open for x51 cars for many months now and see very few out there.

I'm leaning towards selling my Ferrari 430 for a 991S X51 coupe this year.

Special order. Dealers are not going to spec a car with this $19,000 option (includes sport chrono and PSE).

Just get a 50th, still a few around - with/without sunroof, manual/PDK, graphite/geyser - pepito or full black leather & with the cool brightworks on the engine bay & sportsdesign s/wheel & wing mirrors its a hard to beat spec. Most of all they come with x51 as standard. The only thing some may not like is the wheels but they could always be changed with whatever takes your fancy but hurry there is less than 20 left in states and you might even be able to get a good deal.

Funny enough, that would be almost the perfect 991s for me if it wasn't a cab!

Thanks for sharing.
