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.

congrats on the new buy. too bad the xB costs cheaper than your 35 hp option.

enjoy your new ride. i was gonna get the rs 1.0 but i decided i wasnt for all the flashiness

 

Cool! I just ordered mine yesterday, the sales manager said I was the first in the area to order one too! It's only been a day, but it's killing me! I want it now

 

Congrats, now you can sit and wait unpatiently like the rest of us I guess you have your porche to keep you busy though. How about you give me the porche and you can have my 1.0 when it comes J/K

 

LOL! I was going to say the same thing....heck, I'll trade you the supercharged xB for the porche...even trade!

 

I want to see pictures of the Porsche with this X050 package please

 

Awesome story, and you and your son can have loads of fun together researching upgrades for both your xB's! :D

You'll have great looking rides and a bonding experience with your son!

 

hahaha your xb cost less than your 35hp option and you get 108hp out of it, i thought that was funny, congrats man you will love it even more when you get to take it home!

 

i wish my dad bought me a car when it came time for one. must be nice and i hope he appreciates it.

 

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.
