Default PASM on 911 PDK with 18" STD Wheels

Hi All,
I love the new 911 with PDK and SPort Chrono plus , test drove today the 911 S . The 09 S with PASM normal rode much better over a 2008 911 S std suspension

Seats: The base seats are good and supportive too but i think for me on long drives the std seats seem to be pinching my shoulder blades where as the sport seats seem more comfortable-is it how I have the back rest? anyone observed this?

The 911 S has more torque but i think the base 911 is powerful enough

I loved the PASM in Normal mode. I wanna get the base 911 wiith STD 18" wheels and also considering the PASM

I enjoyed PASM in Normal in mY previous Cayman S with 18" wheels
Any recomendations on PASM in base 911 vs std suspension on 18" wheels? Also do the 18" handles as well as 19" in corners?

Thanks

Interesting. Most people say that the sports seats do some shoulder blade pinching, but not the regular seats.

Also... are you sure that PASM is available on the 09 Carrera with 18" rims? I thought that it required 19s and that PAG tuned PASM for 19s.

On the base Carrera (non-s) PASM is available with 18" wheels. However, PASM Sport suspension is available only with 19" wheels.

read the Excellence magazine review on the 997.2 - bottom line, don't get the 3.6 with the standard suspension and 19s.

That is what I said. You assumed that a "base Carrera" refers only to a C2, but a base Carrera (i.e. non-S) can be either a C2 or a C4.
