Yeah, that XD50 power package is available, but why not wait for the 2005 (997) model Porsche? It will have 450hp, for the same price, with standard 19" rims for better performance and more grip?

It has a bit better performance than the 462PS GT2... 8)

yea the X50 is just a boost in HP i believe..the turbo by itself is crazy fast anyways, but if you have the means to spend that much on a 30-40 HP boost, go ahead...i would still take a GT2 over a turbo X50..rear wheel drive is more reliable from what ive heard...

I think its great that Porsche has this option. Altough, personally, I would go for the similarly priced Tech-Art stage 2 tuning package which includes:

Sport air filter, TechArt Motronic engine management, sports induction pipes as well as TechArts own turbo charger.

The result of this is 530hp and 545 lb-ft and they give a guarantee for the engine (not that you're going to need it...)

wait wait ...if its not turbo S then what is it, I know there used to be a turbo S version for the 993...but I thought that was what this was for the 996
Its just a Turbo with the XD50 package. Just you all wait for the 997 Turbo. 19" rims, 450hp, smaller turbos, less boost, and 440lbt.-tq
