doulas bader said:GT4 - what are the similarities & differences between your X51 and the 3.6 X51? How is your power delivered - the 3.6 power hike seems to exist only in the top 1.750rpm, not too useful unless you are in to well illegal speeds, also some gear shifts (at red line) result in falling below this power band...
Is the 3.6 X51 engine also a whisker less unreliable than the standard?
Porsche 996 3.4 Tequipment Brochure said:[about the 3.4 X51]
A characteristic of the new engine is its continous power development, particularly at higher engine speeds above 5,000 rpm.
Porsche 996 3.6 Carrera Brochure said:[about the 3.6 X51]
The X51 results in greater outright power at higher engine speeds as well as a more dynamic, free-revving response.
The sound of the car is also enhanced, particluarly in conjunction with the optional sports exhaust system.

For example is there a benefit to the modified oil pan on a standard 996?
