997 X51....so rare!
L4P,
As i start to hunt around for the replacement of my Cayman S i cant help but be interested in another 997......but this time if i dont go Turbo or GT3, I am thinking about a C2S X51....but WOW they are tough to find.
Anyone know anything about the preowned market on these cars? I know the powerkit is something like 16k which makes them rare - and i can imagine those who got them dont sell them - but i would love to check one out and learn more about the car, power, etc.
LOVE these cars.
Thanks!- 2012 PORSCHE Cayman R White on Black, 6 speed

Yea, only one i have ever seen in person was the 997 Clubsport (they all have the X51) and it was cool but id like to see it on a "regular" 997...prefer a C2S also since its lighter.

yeah for knowing the fact of carrera S with aero kit and power kit is almost the price of a gt3 so why wasting the money? They only reason people will go for it is for the rear seats so good luck finding one
or just get regular one and super charge it ;-)

It's just an upgrade from a regular (whether from a C4S or C2S) Carrera available from factory. Originally Posted by RelentlessMotorsports

I hear you bro --- i had an aero kitted C2S with a HIGH MSRP so i am quite familiar ....i jsut like the idea of the NA power + creature comforts of a nicely specced C2S + the rare factor.
Also, the 3.8 motor is just so freakin awesome....i love it!- 2012 PORSCHE Cayman R White on Black, 6 speed
