Long time lurker and finally about to place an order.
Here are the specs, and would appreciate any comments -- i.e. things I should NOT get or should definitely get.
Also, trying to decide on an 07 or 08 -- any thoughts?
Thanks, very much appreciated.

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.

Sport Chrono and Chrono Plus
This optional package is a valuable addition for trackday use. Available in conjunction with the CDR-24 CD radio, it includes a swivel-mounted analog and digital timer unit which is centrally located on the dashboard. All functions are easily accessible via the control stalk for the on-board computer. Analog dials measure hours, minutes and seconds, while a separate digital field displays whole seconds, tenths and one hundredths of a second. A second digital display runs in parallel in the instrument cluster. Click this Link to visit the FAQ entry for Sport Chrono.

Well other than the tiptronic it all looks good to me. Ok get the tip if you need an automatic, nothing wrong with it, I just prefer the manual. Now comes the fun part - Waiting!!!

BTW I am a big fan of the sea blue interior it is very sharp. I would think about adding the following options:
1) Center console in artic silver (or have bumperplugs do it)
2) silver seat belts (or get them from suncoast later and install)
3) Heated seats if you it gets cold where you are (please fill in state and country into your profile)
4) painted center caps (or get them from Ralph Boothe - boothedesign.com)
But none of those are an absolute must, just trying to add a few things to spice it up...

Easy for me to spend your money, but have you considered GT Silver? I think with the blue it would be so nice. Lastly, I would see if they can either do the rear badge in black or delete it -- silver on silver is kind of a waste....the car sounds like a beaut, though, enjoy!
I agree that it all looks outstanding with the exception of the transmission choice, but to each his own.
You must post pictures!!! I have never seen the color scheme that you are talking about and I am dying to see the blue interior with the artic silver exterior. I think that is going to be a sharp combination.
Hi,
I got a deal for the 08 production. But, I decide to hold off on it. I think there might be some small changes. Base on what the dealer told me. Before the plant shuts down for a month of vacation. They will produce about 300 units of CS for 08 production year. If you have to order the car. If your dealer can not change one of their allocation. You most likely is going to get an 08.
You car options are everything that I want it. Except I will not get the PASM. I don't know if I really need it. I will not bring it to track and not a crazy driver. By the way, what kind of deal did you get?
Thanks,
pecon

Great spec. As for Pecon's comment on PASM, you do not need to bring it to the track or be a crazy driver to benefit from it. It makes my daily commute nicer (this only my opinion, which is generally shared by those who have PASM and generally dismissed by those who don't!-see other threads on PASM for more discussion than you could ever want).
