I find the throttle response of my 987 3.4 DFI Cayman a little mediocre although I suppose it’s a balance for every day driving, I also wish PSM allowed some slip.

So my question to you is how often do you use the sport button it and is it worth the £620 retrofit cost? (£400 software license, £100 button, the rest is labour)

I’ve driven a 981 and found the sport button did exactly what I wanted, a sharper driver and some shallow skids but nothing too hairy. I suppose I have answered my own question, I’m just struggling to justify the cost.

Yes I could turn PSM off but to be honest I’ve tried that...unfortunately when these cars let go they let go! In comparison I didn’t realise how much harder they are to slide compared to a front engine car with a long wheel base boxedin

Maybe I just need more practice smile

Thanks for the replies so far.

I should add, my car is a manual.

As an extension of my original question, to those that use it to you think its worth £620?

Do you ever turn sport off when on the motorway or in town, can it be overly sensitive?

I think you gents have just cost me 600-odd quid, or maybe just over 500 if I can get the discount. Bugger! hehe

Cheers ya'll.

One last thing, do we know how much extra slip sport mode allows? I've read conflicting answers, 10% up to 50%.
