PSM - Porsche Stability Management
|
 |
While it can’t overcome the laws of physics, the revolutionary Porsche Stability Management (PSM) system does lend an added degree of balance and control to the Cayman’s mid-engine driving dynamics, inspiring surefooted confidence in corners and extreme situations.
A standard feature on the Cayman and Cayman S, PSM continuously monitors steering input, road speed, yaw velocity and lateral acceleration to calculate the actual direction of travel. If the car begins to steer off line, PSM instantly intervenes with precision brake inputs on individual wheels to help bring the car back onto the driver’s intended path.
If braking alone isn’t enough to correct the vehicle’s cornering line, PSM then calls on the Cayman’s engine management system, adjusting engine output as needed to help stabilize handling. PSM can also compensate in an instant for mid-corner changes in load resulting from deceleration or braking. When Sport mode is selected with the optional Sport Chrono Package, PSM’s threshold for intervention is raised, allowing for greater driver involvement. If you prefer driving without automatic PSM assistance, the system can be set to standby at any time. In this case, it will only intervene under heavy braking, where both front wheels exceed the ABS threshold.
For all of its technical ability, PSM goes virtually unnoticed in everyday driving situations, preserving the Cayman’s natural agility. |

Re: Possible CS at 911Virgin.com
Looks like excellent value, even given current climate. If you're in the market for a PCCB car, this is pretty much a no-brainer. There's almost none out there on sale and this one is up for a decent price. If it didn't have PCCB, I'd say the price is not bad, even for 911Virgin (who is a reputable dealer, even if he is a little unconventional). Bare in mind 911V is not an official dealer, and he sells the cars practically as they're sold to him. With that spec, I'd personally prefer PASM included in on the spec sheet, but all in all it looks like a fabulous offer.

PASM - Porsche Active Suspension Management
|
 |
This active damping system offers continuous adjustment of individual damping forces based on current road conditions and driving style.
The driver can choose from two setup modes, ‘Normal’ and ‘Sport’, using a separate ‘damper’ button on the center console. ‘Normal’ mode is designed for general road driving and circuits with uneven tarmac. ‘Sport’ mode is intended for smoother track surfaces, where the harder settings help eliminate pitch and roll.
In either mode, PASM continuously evaluates the current conditions while automatically selecting the corresponding damper rates from the respective set of mapped values.
A range of sensors are used to monitor the movement of the body under acceleration, braking and cornering maneuvers, as well as on poor road surfaces. The PASM control unit then evaluates this data and modifies the damping force on each individual wheel in accordance with the selected mode. The result is a significant reduction in body movement as well as a better grip on the road.
For example: if ‘Sport’ mode is selected, the suspension is automatically set to a harder damper rating. If the quality of the track surface falls below a certain threshold, the system immediately changes to a softer rating within the ‘Sport’ setup range. When the quality of the tarmac improves once more, PASM automatically returns to the original, harder rating.

Re: Possible CS at 911Virgin.com
Oh ****! Did not realise that it did not have pAsm! 
As for the PCCB, not really fussed ... Would rather not have it .. But it has to have PASM.
Oh well ... Back to the classifieds
Many  for the heads up

Re: Possible CS at 911Virgin.com
Agreed that PASM is worth having but hard to find on used Cayman S cars
How about this car that has been on Pistonheads for two to three months?

Re: Possible CS at 911Virgin.com
 for that.
Not sure where they are based as I could not see an address on their website. Google seems to indicate that they are in Cornwall! - Am in West Sussex. I would need to have a "touchy feely"  session with the car before deciding mind.
They say they can fit PCM Sat Nav. Any ideas as to how much something like that would cost?
I guess retro fitting the Sports Chrono Pac is out of the question? 
TIA

Re: Possible CS at 911Virgin.com
ARe you pt ex
I was going to sell mine then I changed my mind when i advertised it lol
But I would sell her to some one who was not pi55ing me about.
Its very top Spec and all the Sports options and PASM and PCM
etc etc was 53k, its unmarked not been tracked is garaged and has no bumps or any issues.
Porsche fitted the quick shift for me a few months back also.
And it has xenons which seem a rare option but are so sweet.
I have just fitted new Disks and Pagid rs42 pads front and rear, done prob 100 miles on them as the car is off the road atm.
PM me if you are serious, as if I stll have her by Feb its having some money spent on it ready for the summer and a keeper.
