Whilst the X51 feature is intriguing, it's more the rest of the car that first caught my attention. The question is, how much of a premium can the seller reasonably expect since the X51 is a retrofit?
If I went down the 996 C4S route then I'd get a mega miler C4S, plus this,

and build my own via Porsche Torque or some other quality engine builder :?:

TBH whilst the X51 is interesting, I'm not that fussed to pay much of a premium for it. Car has done 75k and the engine is reported to have done 30k. The C4S happens to be in Speed Yellow which is what first caught my attention! I'm a bit of a sucker for that colour. I checked over a SY wrapped C4S before bought my Arctic Silver one (RIP).
