Boston,
You can use the search function and find numerous threads that address your question. One just the other day and many people suggested a Cayman S without any additional options would serve that purpose very well. IMO, so would a base Cayman model because the limiting factor for the vast majority of us is the driver and not the car. So, depends on your prior experience, what creature comforts you want for the pure driving enjoyment and any individual items you want to make your car distinctive. Hardest decision for a lot of folks is just picking an exterior and interior color, let alone the vast array of individual options. Most track junkies are getting
PASM,
Sport Chrono and Sport Shifter. Then you get to wheel choices, etc etc. All of these individual choices have been discussed and argued over and over, just pick a topic and use the search function and you'll see all of the different topics and hundreds of varying opinions. Welcome, to the CaymanClub!

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.
