I drive a 2003 Porsche 911 Twin Turbo with the X50 option. Would you believe the X50 option costs $18,000. and only adds 35hp. Yes the car is worth the $144,000. purchase price but, do not ask me to do it in terms of value, its not. However doing 0 to 60mph in 3.7 sec. is a rush.

Anyway I drove my son to the dealership from our place in Florida to pick-up his new Xb, I had never seen one and when I saw it, I thought it was way cool. While he was in doing the paper work I took it for a ride. What a blast. His sales lady showed me a picture of the R1 in orange and I ordered it on the spot. She told me that I was the first to order one from any of there three dealerships, so I will get the first one. Believe it or not I'm just as excited about getting the Xb R1 as I was waiting for the Porsche.

I think you have to wait behind Doc, Kwickslvr, and myself before you start crying bout having to wait for the RS1 ......... now serving number 3 .... thats me :D

Ive been waiting for an xB since the begining of Dec., but i know its gonna be worth the wait.

Thanks all for the plus comments.

For the reccord, my son payed for his Xb. He does fairly well as an aerospace engineer.

I will definately post pictures of my TT Porschse and Xb R1 togather.

That is the correct abbreviation, RS1, meaning Release Series 1.0
