Could be right fella......

Quick call to the dealer with the chassis number though and he will give you an exact list of any extras on the car...

It will either be standard 420bhp or the Porsche upgrade pack takes it to 450bhp - it should have this documented with it....

The X50 option also gives a stronger gearbox I believe. Call any dealer with Chassis number mate

X50 has bigger turbos so is more tunable as well

Sounds like you got a bargain as well mate

Awesome everyday Supercars

Lovely looking car kev, and very tunable, my mate is absolutely choking for a gt3 but i`ve been trying to guide him towards the turbo, this is the car he has just now, he`s had cossies an all the usual hot hatch type sports cars, when he got his porker he said the exact same as you "why didnt i get one before"

i look forward to what ever he gets next, be it the turbo or the gt3, but im more than happy with what he`s got
