Guards red on full-leather black. PASM, sport seats, sport steering wheel, and other options. Pretty much everything but ceramic brakes, chrono and nav. 12,600 miles. Got a really good deal on it.
I'm coming from a 2006 Lotus Elise, and before that a 2007 Corvette Z51, 2002 Z06, an NSX, and various Supra's.
I wanted some more livability than the Elise so that I could drive it more often, but did not want to give up all of the feel that was so lacking on the Corvettes.
Can't wait! Will post pics this weekend.
PASM - Porsche Active Suspension Management
This active damping system offers continuous adjustment of individual damping forces based on current road conditions and driving style.
The driver can choose from two setup modes, ‘Normal’ and ‘Sport’, using a separate ‘damper’ button on the center console. ‘Normal’ mode is designed for general road driving and circuits with uneven tarmac. ‘Sport’ mode is intended for smoother track surfaces, where the harder settings help eliminate pitch and roll.
In either mode, PASM continuously evaluates the current conditions while automatically selecting the corresponding damper rates from the respective set of mapped values.
A range of sensors are used to monitor the movement of the body under acceleration, braking and cornering maneuvers, as well as on poor road surfaces. The PASM control unit then evaluates this data and modifies the damping force on each individual wheel in accordance with the selected mode. The result is a significant reduction in body movement as well as a better grip on the road.
For example: if ‘Sport’ mode is selected, the suspension is automatically set to a harder damper rating. If the quality of the track surface falls below a certain threshold, the system immediately changes to a softer rating within the ‘Sport’ setup range. When the quality of the tarmac improves once more, PASM automatically returns to the original, harder rating.

GM needs to listen up and get serious regarding regarding the "feel" aspect of the C6. Lots of us ex-C6 owners on this forum, and we all say about the same thing.

Yup. And if you say the same thing on CorvetteForum (which I still frequent), you'll get 1/3 agreement and 2/3 hatred.
Get some sleep now before you get your car. That way you'll be rested when it arrives! I know it can be hard to sleep when you are thinking about it.

I'm reassured to see you post. When I was deciding on the Cayman it came down to the Porsche or an Elise. I still wonder if I made the right decision (which I made for the livability reason you give) and I've experienced occasional dismissive comments from Lotus owners. Still, I love the Cayman and I hope you enjoy yours too.

I still think the Elise makes a MUCH better fun toy, while the Cayman makes a MUCH better car.

Make sense?
Yes it does. I was blown away when I test drove the Elise and the Cayman is clearly much less raw and go-kart like. But in the end I decided what I wanted was a "weekend daily driver." I.e. not a car to drive to the office, but one I could and would want to drive everywhere on the weekends or on vacation. I figured that the Elise was so basic and had so little storage that I wouldn't be able to use it as much. And how much fun is a car sitting in the driveway unused?
Not, of course, that there aren't other factors. The Elise always seemed to be on the verge of kit car, whereas the Cayman is really solid. On the other hand, I do wish the Cayman was as easy to throw a turbo on, etc.
Anyway, I'd be interested in your impressions after you have had the Cayman for a couple of months. Have fun with the car!
