It's been a long time since I've posted on Rennlist and the first time here in the Cayman S forum. I'll be heading to the local dealership tomorrow to place an order for a 2007 Cayman S. Here's the options we chose:

E7 - Atlas Gray
P77 - Leather Sport Seats
P16 - PCM
P74 - Bi-Xenon
XCZ - Sport Shift
435 - Sport Steering Wheel

After reading the discussion here on the merits of the Sport Chrono package, we decided against it and the PASM. Our Cayman's going to get a lot of track time, so the sport seats, wheel and shifter were all "must-have" items.

I left the car w/ the stock 18" wheels. Instead of Porsche's 19" wheels I think we're going to pick-up a set of aftermarket wheels for the street and relegate the stock 18's to track duty. (Hoosier-Daddy?)

Since Porsche stops work during the month of August, a car ordered tomorrow probably won't be built until September and will be delivered in October/November.

 

Congratulations and welcome. I think you will love your car.

Thanks Alan! Things got screwed up this afternoon and I couldn't make it to the dealership. However, it's not all bad - I got an even better offer from another dealer. I'm still looking at a September build date. ....can't wait!

 

Congrats! If I could do it all over I'd order the short shifter too.

Dont forget to come back to rennlist when you get the car and DO post pics

Laterz!

 

Live alittle and throw in the Porsche crest in the head rest. Very few agree with me that it is worth the price but I love it. The crest in the leather gives me a smile every time I glance at it. I was at a dealership the other day and also saw "Cayman" pressed into a stitched leather center console arm rest. Extremely cool!

Congrats!

 

Ceramic! Let'ts save some weight!

 

Wow, that is the EXACT configuration and color that I've been looking at also.

Congrats!

I think the Seal Gray becomes a special order color for 2007. Let us know how it turns out.

Thanks for the kind words guys! The order has been placed - despite the fact that (at the time) the '07 price list hasn't been published yet.
I hope Seal Gray doesn't become a "special order" color like the Cobal Blue - that's a ('06 price) $3,070 option! I think Seal Gray was an $800ish option.
Steve - I did add the Porsche Crest in the headrest! I've seen it in 996's & 997's and thought it was a nice touch.
...is it November yet?
