That price seems a lot less than the 997.1 X51 cost (in USD)?

Might as well get a "real car" - (GT3) - if you want manual; and for the PDK guys, the aftermarket can already get you 20-25 HP without a flash for $6-7k. (I know - warranty, warranty, warranty concerns).

Drool...but in a few more years they will up the power again with some model of the 997 or...totally new model. It will never end...they keep making them better.

I'll just wait for the 500 hp flat-six meeting the new CAFE standard of 39 mpg for passenger cars.

Wow. Very interested to see some real-world performance stats with the PDK. Sub 4 second 0-60 runs perhaps??

$735/HP

yeah that makes perfect sense to me. after all, i feel as though this car runs out of HP all over the place. them there 23 ponies will come in real handy.

many X51 users swore it was very difficult to feel the difference.

I'll keep my car to a center pipe and reflash until I get a GT3... Not worth the retrofit.
