Default 997 C4S Targa X51

Hi All,
it's been a decade since I had a kid and sold my last 911 and this week after "the chase" I picked up a 997 C4S Targa TipT with an X51 engine (unknown to the dealer what that actually is

How rare is the X51 in the Targa C4S format? I imagine the average 'new' Targa buyer would have declined the x51 option for the reasons that this particular car is the "Gentleman's Porsche" for lack of a better term, and the purists general opinion of the extra 60kg and softer suspension. The Targa being more the design appreciated vehicle for usability vs extra performance... There's only a few in this spec thats for sure. Anyway, it's awesome to be back and I look forward to being involved in the scene again.

That's probably a pretty rare combo. Looks great.

Never turn down additional HP.
