Awesome!

 

Thank you.

 

Love it!

 

Great car. I just drove a Cayman for the first time at VIR. Very impressive. Great balance. However I found the computer (PSM) to be extremely intrusive and frustrating. Is there a computer upgrade shutting off or tuning down the PSM system? What do Gram Am and Cayman Interseries car use?

Thanks, Stephan
