mlpor - I heard a vicious rumor that you are selling your CS?!?  |
Not vicious, but unfortunately kind of true, if I can get a reasonable figure for it. First $50 would take it complete (that would include two sets of 18" BBS wheels and the roof/custom wheel & tire carier) set up; $47k for car alone. It was a "highly optioned" 2006 Cayman S when I bought it. The original MSRP was in the 72K+ range, with nav, 19" wheels,
Sport Chrono,
PASM, Bose etc. and the car has been been enhanced somewhat with a Big Brake Kit (
Suncoast's 993 Twin Turbo version ~ 322x32mm rotors and the "Big Reds" calipers); Bilstein's
PASM adjustable coilover kit for the cayman; and H&R front and rear stabilizer bars, plus last but not least, a
Farnbacher/Loles limited slip differential. The car's been corner balanced and has turned turned a sub 1:50, and with a little more time I believe could probably faster in the right hands, laps at Pueblo. In any event, it's now got @ 30,000 miles on it and is available if you know anyone interested.
Cheers Mike

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.
