Not to dispute the "Meister" STG....but my 2013 C2 Base Coupe does have PASM Sport Suspension as an option as shown on the build sheet, as well as the sport suspension shock absorber icon button on the center console.
Also included is the SPASM front spoiler lip. Is this not the definition of SPASM?
Thanks!

Sport-PASM optional on S coupes only. Not available on Cabs and Targas.
PASM is 10mm lower than base model height
Sport-PASM is an additional 10mm lower than PASM.
So ..... Sport-PASM is 20mm lower than a base 991.1 Carrera WITHOUT the PASM option.
Side notes:
Sport-PASM is referred to as SPASM on the forum here.
PASM is now standard on base model 991.2's where was an option on 991.1's.
GT3FZS may be right. Just looked at a 2013 brochure and it shows as an option. His is the first base I ever seen with SPASM. Maybe not that many first owners ordered a base with that.
[Edit: As the image shows, it is PDCC that you can't get at all in the base]
It's definitely worth getting a PPI on a CarMax car even if it's after the 5-day window... Carmax will usually fix most of the little things a PPI might find at no cost under their 30 day warranty. Not cosmetic issues, but if there are any codes, bad changeover valves, or any other minor issues might as well get them taken care of, and PPI's usually find at least a few very minor issues you otherwise might not notice.
^^ I could be wrong on SPASM on base models. Might be the .1% time I'm wrong

Will do it on Tuesday. If any MAJOR no turning back flag arises I can return the car until Wednesday. Carmax will says they`ll fix anything in the first 30 days too. If I see something weird I`ll test their policy

I know what you mean about PSE. I was expecting it to be good, but it turned out to be awesome

Make sure they have a Porsche mechanic fix any issues, not "their" mechanic.
Someone on Audizine bought an S4 from CarMax. It turned out to have a major issue (engine, I believe) after the return period, but within the first thirty days; he had to fight like crazy to have them pay Audi to fix it versus the generic CarMax mechanic doing the work.
