3 Options You Can’t Live Without


PhilCS

Recommended Posts

So, I was having this debate last night with a mate.  

 

If you had a base spec Cayman and could only add 3 options, what would they be.  

 

For me its:  

 

1. Sports Steering Wheel

2. Bluetooth Phone Prep

3. Sports Seats

Personally I wouldn't bother with PSE, Carnewal sounds better.  Assuming any car is manual. 

 

For a Cayman S:

 

1. Sport Design steering wheel

2. Shortshift 

3. Sports seats

 

for an R: 

 

1. Bucket seats  

2. Climate 

3. Spyder Wheels

1. PDK

2. Cruise

3. PASM

 

Standard PDK steering wheel comes with paddles now.

Is PCM standard too? Can't find it as an option on the configurator.

But a Carnewal exhaust isn’t an OPC option Nick, so technically you’re cheating ?????

If PCM with phone prep etc is standard now then I think I’d have to toss a coin for PASM or sport chrono (ie the throttle sharpening response etc, not just a stop watch on the dash....) ?

I have to say I agree PSE is pretty wanky on the 987.  On the 981 it’s a bit OTT and the popping on over-run is a bit false and repetitive.  Wouldn’t be on my list either. 

 

1. Lightest wheels available 

2. Non-PASM

3. LSD

LSD - I didn’t think of that. 

 

I now revise  my list. 

1. (Wanky) PSE ?

2. Full leather (incl heated seats of course) 

3. LSD (assuming I’ve gone for passive sports suspension in the main build - so technically not using one of my 3 options... ??)

Only the 987 PSE is wanky. You're speccing a 718 remember, as that's the only car you can spec.

And PSE on the 718 is bound to be very un-wanky. ?

I kind of meant this thread to cover any Cayman, so 'speccing' referred also to choosing and considering a 987 based on the options it does or doesn't have..  

 

The 718 PSE is naff though, it amplifies the already wanky sound

Ah... so "Tardis" speccing then. I'm with you.

Yeah, when the base price was increased last year they added PCM as standard but don't think this includes CarPlay. Think DAB was made standard too but not 100%, there were a couple things though.

 

On a 718 it'd be:

PSE

Sport Chrono

19" wheels (not sure what design)
