Advice on purchase
Hi all,
I did some unplanned body and suspension mods to my 944 a few weeks back. I was thinking about trading her in for a Cayman S in a year or so, but it looks like this plan might be hastened by my little off-road excursion. I plan to use the car as a DD with some DEs. I am in the C+ run group on the scale of A (advanced) to D (novice).
My spouse has asked me to go auto-tranny so she can join in the fun and until the pdk came out, I was hesitantant to consider it. But now, I am fine with that aspect. Therefore, I am going to focus on 2009-2011 model years.
What other options are desireable? Which are a waste of money? Thanks.

Agree with agu845 that if you are going to go with a PDK, then Sport Chrono is a must for the performance shift maps, launch control, etc. If you don't like a wart on the dash, or can't find a used car with SC on it, you can always add the SC function as a dealer installed option: Sport Mode Software
Though not an absolute necessity, PASM is nice (especially for a car that will be seeing time on the track or AX course) - if you can find a car with it; same goes for a LSD. The sport seats would be better than standard seats also, if you will be taking it to the track.
I don't know that there are any options that are a complete waste of money, though if I were ordering a car from the factory, I wouldn't bother with the rear wiper.
