"Member For Sale" ads, + "Parts Marketplace", what's the 3rd one?
Rules don't single out PASM-equipped cars anyway. Probably should... Maybe PDK as well, reportedly worth maybe half a second? I got a manual though...
We haven't had a whole lot of stockish Caymans running with the club so points system doesn't account for details of options...
What guy that just won a title you referring to?
Club is COMSCC, we run Palmer, NHMS, WGI, Thompson, sometimes Mosport, sometimes Mont Tremblant...

Hmmm, if PDK is worth around a second or more per lap...
I went with a manual because of fear of potential annoying and/or expensive PDK issues with an aging 987.
In my 987.2 search there were two options I had to have: LSD and sport seats. For faster lap times, maybe I shoulda focused on PASM and PDK instead... Ah, second-guessing :P

I think you did fine by what you got, plus it def. takes more skill to drive the 6sp. at a similar pace to the PDK so it's a little more rewarding/engaging to do well with the 6sp.
The LSD does help, and one of the ways to make it and the synchros work better is to switch to the Mobil Delvac fluid you can get at Suncoast. Makes both grip better.
