Cayman S and chrono sport pack question

[pauly]

Well guys I didn´t expect my thread to get so heated and thanks for all your opinions.

Tested 2 Caymen(think thats the plural) over the last few days, one with SCP one without and I have to say unless you are giving it serious Jonny large potatoes you don´t notice any difference whatsoever. So seeing as I want to keep my licence and I won´t be doing any track driving in the foreseable future the CSP has been removed from the option list on my car. Funny thing is the salesman agreed with me and said he had wanted to talk me out of it in the first place,not very often those guys try to not sell you something.

....Many people seem to like the more agressive throttle response - but you can achieve the same thing by treading harder on the pedal. It's quite easy to compare by switching sport on and off during a test drive - so suggest you do that..

That helps to compare both modes on a car equiped with SCP. Not perhaps the same as sport mode on a car with SCP, and a car without SCP at all.

i.e. jumping out of a 997 without and into a 997S with it, I'm pretty certain that the throttle response without SCP would be somewhere between the two modes, i.e. the best compromise for me.

Not driven the Cayman though...

I've seen a little graph of throttle response with and without SCP "sport" - as far as I know the "normal" is the same whether you have SCP fitted or not. That's different from PASM, which in its "normal" setting is softer than non-PASM.

To pikey's points - It doesn't do 3D (not bothered) - Its out of drivers view (use vocal commands more than the screen) - It doesn't have whole of Europe (not bothered - car won't be going to Cyprus etc) - The phone module isn't bluetooth (this is separate from nav but agree Porsche should offer a bluetooth option) - Its outrageously expensive (agreed but its not £2300, more like £1800 - you are including the phone module)

Fair enough People like/want different things

- A TomTomGO_700 beats it on every single feature - technically I am sure it does but I don;t want something ugly stuck to my dash / windscreen with wires dangling everywhere, nav screen also makes the interior look much nicer IMHO

Ah, now I definitely agree with you there.

290bhp is not a huge amount & personally think people should consider spending the extra money on additional training, not a button you press & hope it does it for you.

It is really.

My S2000 has 240 and its loads. My Cerbera has 420 and it was too much.

I'm quite happy with 295 - really
