Chaps,
Don''t tell the 944 boys, but I am planning on selling on my two cars and turning them into a Cayman. As a result I've been out looking at the second hand market and to that end my local OPC, who have been most helpful.
So yesterday I tried a PASM equipped S running 19s. Much discussion has passed by in this forum and elsewhere saying that running 19s without PASM is a real no no, but I wonder, do any of those equipped with PASM use Sport mode on the road? I was heading up the A3, itself reasonably smooth, and in Sport mode it is simply too jiggly. Probably very useful on the track however, although I won't be using mine for that.
Anyway, I then popped it back in to Normal but I am sorry to say that after a 30 minute test drive I got out of the car feeling decidely sea-sick and I am sure I felt the car pitching fore and aft a lot. Is this the sort of thing others have expereinced? This was in stark contrast to the previous S I drove, which had no PASM but was also running 19s. The ride on that felt just the right side of sporty, and it felt just more natural through the twisties.
So I've decided a non PASM car it is, but curious to hear the views of others.
