Pretty easy to do (and I didn't even really do any good full donuts.) I was on a bit of a incline so the car always slipped out after about half a donut.
You can do it in either manual or triptronic (mine was manual.) All you're doing is cranking the wheel and flooring it in 1st gear until the wheels lose grip.
Technically you could do this on a dry street, but you'd have to be going a bit quicker and it would be a little harder to break traction and control it. Plus it would be a lot harder on the tires.
Interestingly I noticed that even with PSM turned off I could still hear it working away on the front wheels as the car spun. As if it were saying, "You don't really want to be doing this do you?" Maybe that's why I could never manage more than about 180 degress of spin.
PSM - Porsche Stability Management
While it can’t overcome the laws of physics, the revolutionary Porsche Stability Management (PSM) system does lend an added degree of balance and control to the Cayman’s mid-engine driving dynamics, inspiring surefooted confidence in corners and extreme situations.
A standard feature on the Cayman and Cayman S, PSM continuously monitors steering input, road speed, yaw velocity and lateral acceleration to calculate the actual direction of travel. If the car begins to steer off line, PSM instantly intervenes with precision brake inputs on individual wheels to help bring the car back onto the driver’s intended path.
If braking alone isn’t enough to correct the vehicle’s cornering line, PSM then calls on the Cayman’s engine management system, adjusting engine output as needed to help stabilize handling. PSM can also compensate in an instant for mid-corner changes in load resulting from deceleration or braking. When Sport mode is selected with the optional Sport Chrono Package, PSM’s threshold for intervention is raised, allowing for greater driver involvement. If you prefer driving without automatic PSM assistance, the system can be set to standby at any time. In this case, it will only intervene under heavy braking, where both front wheels exceed the ABS threshold.
For all of its technical ability, PSM goes virtually unnoticed in everyday driving situations, preserving the Cayman’s natural agility.

By the way, this was done with brand new snow tires on and they seemed to grip a little too well, not allowing as much 'donuting' as possible perhaps. And I did feel like even though it was turned off PSM was acting on the front wheels of the car a bit (even though the brake pedal wasn't been touched)
