Thanks for all the super information I read here while waiting three long months for delivery. Your expertise and enthusiasm made the wait all the more worth it. I'm picking up tomorrow and could not be more thrilled to own a new Cayman S, my first sports car of any kind.

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.
Wonderful. Don't leave us out and forget to post pictures. And if here are some things to check tomorrow:
Make sure that the dealer goes to the extra trouble to clean the wheels of all cosmoline. It is a bear to do yourself without removing the wheels.
Check the tire air pressure. Most often they are delivered over inflated.
Don't sign the paperwork until you are satisfied with the paint/bodywork.
Leather surfaces should all fit tight without any bulges are loose parts.
Make sure all the lights work.
If you want the doors to lock when you reach a certain speed have the dealer program that at delivery.
The key can be programmed for a longer delay time. If you want that done now is the time.
Read the manual on-line first (your can find it here) or read the sticky under complaints here. And pay attention to the delivery speech given by your sales person.
And if you stall it you must move the key all the way back to the left before restarting.
I know how you feel about the "first sports car" thing. My Cayman is my first real sports car too. I have to confess that I owned an SLK for a while. But, other than the fact that it was a 2 seater and an enjoyable car, I understand that it wasn't a real example now that I have a month under my belt with the Cayman.
You've checked and exciting color & option list. Please do post pics when you can pull yourself away from driving the car for a few minutes.
Congratulations on your first Porsche. Double congrats on the Cobalt Blue. I can appreciate your excitement as my Cobalt CS was my first Porsche and I find myself anticipating every drive, every turn, every shift. I know you will enjoy every minute in it! Obviously you know about the outstanding advice you get here. Take it to heart.

Ditto. Congrats and welcome. My cobalt blue has 22,900 miles on her and I miss her if I don't drive her daily!!!
Congratulations and welcome to the CaymanClub znitud! A wonderfully equipped Porsche Cayman S if I do say so myself. While reading your post, I find myself asking the following question: what vehicle would constitute a sports car? I’m unsure as to whether or not I’ve ever owned one. Nevertheless, would a 1992 Acura Integra qualify? Just a thought to ponder I suppose as I pass the time. Don’t forget to post a picture or two. Thank you.

Great philosophical question--coincidentally I have an '89 V6 Acura Legend Coupe. Feels sporty--bet a '92 Integra even more so. I don’t think of either car as a sports car, but realize like you I’m not sure how to define that. I wonder what others say. Thanks for bringing up something interesting to consider!
Also thanks to everyone for compliments on color/options, and Santa Fe for dealer checklist--very handy before we drove off in the CS for 170 miles. Mix of highway cruise (wow!) back roads (wow!!!) and stop-and-go (‘wow’ looks from other cars made it the most enjoyable traffic jam ever.)
I hated putting the car away for the night. A few pictures attached
Unfortunately, I had a mishap with the 1992 Acura Integra quite a while ago. I’m extremely proud to drive a 2005 Subaru Legacy GT Limited on a daily basis. Yes, it’s a sedan, but it has some serious pep in its step. One of Subaru’s selling points at the time my wife purchased it for me was that it is supposedly faster than a Porsche Boxster. However, I don’t know how much truth there is to that statement. I’m truly happy for you. I’m sure words can’t express the way you feel right now with your new addition to the family. Enjoy!
