The description is so vague that I'm not sure what exact options it has, other than the obvious: sports chrono, NO PASM, stock wheels etc. Based on my search, it appears that the only way to get a list is running the VIN at a Porsche dealership. I don't know of any of them will do that for me; it seems an inherent conflict of interest.
Any suggestions? The car is 40 miles away and I'd rather do more homework before going in.
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.
Nice looking interior, but for an '06, I think it's a little over-priced given the options it appears to have. Be sure and read thru the FAQ on buying a used Cayman, if you haven't already.

2006 CS Tip (Daily Driver & Part-time Track Toy)
2005 Ford Expedition (to haul the CS)
2006 Lexus RX400h (wifey's)

From the pic's it looks like it has the Bose radio, memory seats. It may have the sport exhaust... if you look really good you can see there is a button to right of the button that raises the wing. My sport exhaust button is there but it could also be for the SPORT mode for the chrono.. not sure since i dont have SPORT Chrono...

I would concur, nice but not fully loaded. Price is a little high. Says it has auto A/C....but can't tell for sure. Doesn't seem to have auto dimm mirrors either. Just observations...
Has Full Leather and that's probably why the price hike.
I have also run the VIN through the PET and I can confirm that:
Full Leather
Comfort Seats
BOSE Sport Chrono
Xenon Headlights and washers
Manual A/C
No PSE
No CD Changer
No Self-Dim mirrors
No Seat heating
No TPMS

TPMS
TPMS - The Tire Pressure Monitoring System provides early warning of any drop in pressure by continuously monitoring the pressure in each tire and alerting you in the onboard computer display in the event of a pressure deficiency. It communicates the exact pressure of each tire and/or their deviation from ideal pressure. This does away with the need for regular air pressure checks at the service station, which often prove highly inconvenient.
I've inquired on two loaded 2006 CS cars (MSRP $71.5 & $73.5) with 14,000 and 20,000 miles. Asking price for each was nearly $50K. One could be bought for $43K and the other for $45K. A no options CS could be bought from a dealer for around $42K. There are sellers that are upside down in their lease or loan and need around $53K to sell. That is going to be a tough sell when others needing to sell are willing to bit the bullet and sell in the mid to high forties. I make the market for 2006 CS between $42-$46k, depending on color, miles, options and condition.
Not trying to start a war here. Just reporting results of my search this week.
Only 40 miles away? No one near me would have a car like that!
The nearest Porsche dealer to me is 3 1/2 hours in the summer. Portland is 4.5. Bay area is 7. Sac is ~6...
