I'm looking forward to trying out the PDK in my new-to-me Cayman S next year at the track. So far I haven't done any performance driving at all, but it was nice to have the PDK for the 3 1/2 hour slog through LA traffic when I drove the car to Seattle from San Diego.

Racer Boy,

You may want to add the center radiator (if you don't have one yet) to help keeping the PDK cool, as the engine coolant goes through the PDK oil heat exchanger.

Congratulations on the nice car BTW!

Thanks, Gilles!

The car has the center radiator. I believe that the 987.2 came with the center rad, the 987.1 didn't.

The 987 CS was replaced a couple of years ago with a 981 CS with PDK and didn't have one, so I installed a center radiator for a piece of mind..
