Hi all.
Just a quick introduction as I've just purchased an 07 CS2 with factory installed Full X51 kit w/PSE, GT silver, sport chrono, full leather, 6 speed, PASM, turbo wheels etc. 21,000 miles, 1 owner and came with extended transferable warranty. Window sticker says it was $122,000 new. Sweet!
Wanted a 911 most of my life and decided the time is now. It's not my DD and so far my only drives have been 2 trips up Palomar mtn, nice and early before the cops and bikes show up. Had an absolute blast as I know the road pretty well from riding it on 2 wheels for years. Definitely a quick car
Pic is from about 6am Sunday morning, letting it cool down about half way up ![Wink](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/smilies/wink.gif)
Loving it!
Cheers,
Pip
**UPDATE**..... car is now for sale. Please PM if interested.

Thanks for all the comments so far. It's interior is black. Feels pretty classic!
Yes I'm hoping some locals may wanna meet up for some early morning weekend hi jinx! Nothing worse than sitting behind other cars in these things . It really is worth getting up at dawn for![Big Grin](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
I will be swapping out the springs and adding spacers this week when they arrive. Can't wait.
Cheers,
Pip.

That's a nice 381 HP machine. Yes, the PSE is a part of the X51 package. The X51 commanded a significant premium over the regular S that it was not too popular, so finding one used (and with such low miles) is remarkable and probably a very good deal for you!
Enjoy it in good health!

Awesome choice, X51 are rare and the best iteration of 997.1 engine. Congrats!
