I'll probably lower it 1" and take it out for a couple of track days. But will use no more than aggressive sport alignment settings
That understeer issue, I run my tires a bit high and noted just a bit of push that could be broken with a little throttle lift to bring it in and get right back on it while pointed in. If you catch it, it's pretty neutral. But, my tires and the pavement were cold, it may be different warmed up.
Once on the track we'll find out what it does at the real limit...

If you are going with the heated seats, I would recommend the heated steering wheel. I like my PSE too! I was thinking in hindsight about the Burmeister, but think maybe the road noise might cancel out the improved sound quality. Can someone comment on the Burmeister?

Well, after much hand wringing I decided to buy from dealer stock and I should have her by Friday. Here's the build:
Boxster in Silver with red top and red leather sports seats
PDK, Light Design Pkg, Park Assist, Sport Design Steering Wheel, Silver Grey Seatbelts, 20" Carrera Wheels in Platinum, Infotainment Pkg, Premium Pkg, Ventilated Seats, & Roll Bar in Exterior Color.
I'll post pics when I pick it up.
Can't Wait!

honestly dont think it soundproofing. If you ride in the car, it's spooky quiet, at least with the top up. Owned a lot of convertibles and normally sound is a negative for most, not this one.
rather the sound escapes a droptop and it's difficult to get enough good speaker mountings. not as many body panels. would think that even a Cayman would be the minimum.
