Wow Ram, that is drop-dead gorgeous! Congrats. Those wheels look a lot like the 997 Turbo wheels, are they factory on the Design Edition?

Thanks guys. Yup. they are the Turbo wheels..standard on the PDE.

They're the same look, but aren't they narrower than the Turbo wheels?

Yep, same look different widths. Those wheels come in 8, 8.5, 9.5, and 11 in widths.

Man that Cayman S is fun

. Ram and I just put ~100 miles on it and the revs rarely dropped below 4k......it's seen more 'use' in those 100miles than the 10k miles it had when he bought it

Got gas this morning...averaged 14mpg on that tank. We must have gotten like 10mpg during our 100 miles.

So I was reading on 6speedonline. Apparently the 09+ LSD equipped Cayman's differential is garbage. Matt Monson took it apart and there are 4 fiction disc plates in (2 on each side) the diff.

One would assume that this means there would be 3 instances of frictional interfaces on each side of the diff (2 on the outside and 1 between the two friction discs on each side). However, those geniuses in Stuttgart put the 2 fiction discs adjacent so there are only 2 frictional interfaces.

Not to mention there is no preload on it since it has no belville washers.

I would say that while it is not likely a Super Stock overdog, those that run them in SS are going to need new diffs yearly because soon as you get any wheel spin those friction pucks are going to be glowing red
