it just looks like a regular 996 Twin Turbo. maybe the X50 has something to do with a tuner? he isn't very specific

The X50 is a regular 996 TT but the X50 is the sport package. It adds about 50hp and a few aero mods but mostly its the extera power. The car isnt a GT2 because it dosent have the vent in front of the hood.

It's basically the GT2 engine, the ceramic brakes, aero kit and seats are all extra options. We have one coming next month (maybe) with all the above options...the brakes and seats are extremely difficult to get and that has delayed the delivery.

X50 is the option tag. more horsies and an appearance package mostly, i believe the suspension is a little different also.
