The only X73 i could come up with is a 996TT optional "ROW" lowered suspesion. veru much like the ROW M030, it consists of stiffer, matched, springs, dampers and sway bars that lower the car 20mm and stiffen it by (an unknown margin since dampers are not linear).
Maybe there is a new X73 that is different, but you need to get the porsche description. PASM is adjustable. Its complex, but allows the best of both worlds. X73 or ROW M030 is quite rough. My take is that neither is required unless you plan to AutoX or track the car. In fact, on rough roads it will likely yield reduced grip, since the tires may not be in contact with the road at all times.
If you look here, i see no X73 option:

but i do see PASM (active suspension) for $2090. Is that it?
Grant
OK, thanks. So.... one way or another this is a fixed, lowered, stiffer, kit. grant - Monday, 18 February, 2013, at 8:34:50 am |

Sounds like the PASM setup MikenOH - Monday, 18 February, 2013, at 9:06:50 am |
Each PASM setting has a range that overlaps the other. The soft end of Normal is softer than stock. *NM* Laz - Monday, 18 February, 2013, at 9:27:08 am |
Here's the option I was looking at Joanne in OC - Monday, 18 February, 2013, at 10:38:51 am |
In my opinion... grant - Monday, 18 February, 2013, at 11:45:19 am |

Have you checked to see if there is a car like you want at Porsche dealers in other states? Guenter in Ontario - Thursday, 21 February, 2013, at 12:41:44 pm |
Exactly--there are a lot of cars out there.. *NM* MikenOH - Thursday, 21 February, 2013, at 12:56:14 pm |
I know you can search for used Boxsters, not sure about new ones in stock, but Guenter in Ontario - Thursday, 21 February, 2013, at 1:12:02 pm |
Many stealerships quote high on delivery time, maybe to motivate you to buy sometime in stock *NM* Gary in SoFL - Thursday, 21 February, 2013, at 2:27:40 pm |
Actually, about 3.5 - 4 months is about right for an ordered car Guenter in Ontario - Friday, 22 February, 2013, at 8:42:34 am |

I think the consensus is sport chrono isn't worth it. I have sport chrono on my 987, and agree. It's largely a gimmick.
BUT, I also have PASM, and I like it A LOT. For me, money spent on PASM (as contrasted with sport chrono) is worth it.
