I love the forums, lots of great info. I appreciate the hard work for us new owners.
I was former 993 owner and never liked another 911 they made since. I couldn't hold out at my local dealer for the Cayman S, none in stock for quite a while, so I settled on a base model with the sport package, xenon, 6 speed,
PASM etc.. I love the car but I do miss the power a bit and the sound of my 993. I see some great exhaust info here and I am trying to find out if there is a tuner here in Los Angeles that can order and install for me.
Another question, maybe not for this forum? My manual says to use 98 RON min, my plate in the gas cap compartment says 93 RON min and another place in the manual it says the car can compensate for 95 RON. I don't know what is right. I am using 100 and I like it a bit more over the 91. My engine was knocking when in higher gear under load. Don't know if the $5.89 a gallon is worth it?
Any help is 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.
