There is a user called Toga from Belgium on 993 forum, and he signed all his posts with string "96 993 C4S X51 3.8". So it appears he has that option. In "911&Porsche Word" UK magazine from April 1997, there is review of loaded C4S and it has X51. They say the cost of X51 option was 6461 pounds (quite a bit for extra 14 hp).

which brings up a very interesting question. is the uniqueness of the car worth the extra money up front ? if you look at "S" versions of recent cars or rs america and club sport cars of the past you paid a hefty premium for those cars. has the extra cost of those vehicles up front held their value down the road ?
