Lately I have been looking at some of the other Porsche and european car forums for information on braking problems on the track. (I won't say which ones they are.) But I noticed something very interesting.
Many of the posts on these other forums are down right rude, mean and sarcastic. Some forums are worst than others. I see people trying to get help and others posting useless dribble and stupid, smart alex comments.
By contrast the Cayman Club forums seem to be much more friendly and helpful. The tone in the Cayman Club forums is just great. I also post on the Hummer H2 forum and have found its much like the Cayman forum.
I don't know why this is the case. But I just want to say thank you to the members of this forum and the moderators for making it a friendly, useful place to visit. Now that I wrote this, don't screw it up.

Thank you for the kind words (btw what did you think of the track yesterday? was it nice?) The goal of this site is to be the central repository for all things Cayman and to help our fellow enthusiasts. Someone who comes into a forum bragging about how much money they make or how fast their car is or how "phat" their significant other is does nothing to further that goal. I don't know if other sites have a goal other than to be a website, we try to strive for something more and provide something for everyone.
Moderation and administering this site is not an easy task and there are lots of folks who donate their time to do so because they believe in that vision and goal. It is nice to hear that the site is being seen that way by its members.
Carry on!

I was looking over different things on my 08 5 speed and when I opened the area for the tool box, I found an empty space in the middle of the box and a space on the wall behind for some sort of bracket(attaching point). Does anyone know what might fill in that spot?

Unfortunately, with spring break, easter and the contractor needing me to finalize things for the start of my barn/garage conversion.... not to mention trying to sort out the disabling of PSM to get my brakes to 100%... I could not attend the event at H2R.
With 4 tracks closer to the house than H2R, there is more than enough for a full season. Also, I never heard whether they were allowed to run at speed at H2R. Last I heard it might be parade laps.
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.

If you are talking in the front trunk, that is where the amplifier goes for either the sound plus or Bose systems.

You should go read the recap, doesn't sound like it was parade laps, sounded like a lot of fun. So which is your favorite local track then? You'll see my questions in the other thread about building a house at the track, let me know if you have any thoughts on that.

Thank you very much K-man.

You are very welcome but I keep finding your profile picture distracting as I am trying to figure out who it is...

I agree with this as well. I've been on this board for a year now, and it is a virtual encyclopedia of Cayman and Porsche knowledge with very friendly members.
I think everyone on the board deserves a cookie for behaving well. I'm going to go eat mine right now.
Until 
tool box space
