Speccing Question- Sports Chrono
- Thread starter Buddy
- Start date
I am speccing up a Cayman 718s having not purchased a Porsche for many years( since 944 to be precise) I wanted some advice on whether to bother with Sports Chrono. I am looking at manual with PASM, Sports Exhaust and 20" alloys. From what I have read it seems to offer more with the PDK box? Would be only occasional track use , mainly weekend car.
Thanks

I've specced it on my new 718 CS PDK.

Also did the cars have the sports exhaust? Just wondered if this makes as much difference on the turbo engine compared to the 981 normally aspirated engines?
Thanks

I drove a manual 2 litre Boxster at Silverstone, didn't get it out of 3rd gear and was very impressed with the torque and performance. I was told by a guy from Porsche that all the present Boxster 718's Demo vehicles have the standard exhaust system which I thought was fine.
The day I was a Silverstone they had one of the LHD demo's 718 Cayman S in Miami Blue on German plates ( S VS 718 ) this vehicle was about to go back to Germany on a curtain side lorry, so I managed to climb all over it before it was loaded, very very nice!! The chap who I was having the test session with had driven the LHD Cayman S around the track and said it had the Sports System on it and sounded fantastic, it sounded brilliant when it was being loaded up, so guess what, I've ordered mine with the Sports System and black tailpipes.

Thanks for the info , I had this on the configurator also with black tail pipes which look good and are also easier to keep clean. Now considering PDK as it seems to make more sense with sports chrono ! I will be driving a demo Boxster S when weather improves so will see how this combination works.
Has the dealer given any indication of delivery date for your Cayman S?
Neil
The gear change on the PDK is instant which is fantastic, I run an AMG Merc which changes gear very slowly, no comparison even when using paddles on column. You will be very impressed once you drive one.
I have ordered a 718 Cayman S through Porsche Colchester, it should be their third S to come through, they are talking of delivery around the last quarter in September which I believe is about the time of unveiling in UK. so around 3 months can't wait!! john.
Ps I think we met at the Chatsworth event on Sunday, good luck with selling the Cayman.
