I paid less than $16K on my second Porsche,--a new 911S,--it's a lot of money for a little more torque. Unless you're in Germany, where are you ever going to enjoy the difference? I went for the brakes.

Once again as I have posted before. Look at EVERYTHING Porsche has done to the engine via the X-51 package and look at the power gains. Lots of work on the engine (externally and internally). Do you think the after market guys can really get that much more?
X-51 = if you want the very best - go for it! I for one would NEVER live without it!!!
