Spec a 2011 Cayman S

Would like input on what to get and what not to get..

Ruby Red Metallic will most likely be the color choice and PDK for sure


Sport Chrono package plus ?
Dynamic cornering lights ?
Sport Exhaust ?
Factory Aero Kit ?

Not sure which of these if any come standard on the 'S', but input would be greatly appreciated. This is just going to be a daily driver, so comfort and functionality are high on the priority list. Thanks in advance to all...

Sport chrono yes
dynamic xenons, yes
Sports exhaust? not so much- go after market

Factory Aero kit? Pass on that one.

and btw NONE of the above come standard on a CS. Are you paying cash? Financing? Or leasing?

PASM / PSM / Nav are musts and sport chrono is super nice to have if you're tracking it.

Beyond that I went for the upgraded stereo, xenons, and God knows what else.

The Cayman S is so expensive because practically nothing comes standard and the options are hella expensive (as in, Porsche charges more money to option something on a Cayman S than they do to put the same thing on a 911). So you either have to (1) be willing to get into used GT3 money (80's) to have the right performance mods, 19" wheels, dynamic lights, the sport bucket seats, etc., etc. or (2) get a car that's light on options.

So set a budget and then start working with that.

Up to about $85k and might have even forgotten a few things for the way I would like the car, is that just way too much for a Cayman ?!?
