Arrived! My 2013 Cabriolet in Basalt Black with Carrera Red
#34
Great car, drive it in good health! I love the carbon inserts. You will find that the red interior causes a bit of glare and the chrome interior makes it worse. I think the carbon will help. And it is great looking!

Who said what a POS {:+>
lol, I'd take that POS... Obviously an anacroym for, "Plenty of Spunk" hehe
OP, If I may ask... I was curious as to why your build did not include PASM? I have my rationale, however flawed....lol

My reason for not ordering PASM
In fact, the PASM being standard on the S was the key reason to not order the S version. I don't think there is any way to delete the PASM on the S version.
Having owned a few P sports cars over the years and a lower back problem (sensitive) I have found the P sports cars without PASM to be more comfortable. I cannot come up with a scientific reason but it does seem to me that non-PASM cars sit higher which means more suspension travel to absorb the road conditions and perhaps more comfortable due to this.
I have noticed that there is a very noticeable gap between the body and wheels on Ferraris with stock suspension (owned a California briefly right before this Cabriolet). Perhaps that's why Ferraris always seem more comfortable as well. This is merely my own opinion/experience based on my health situation (back problem). These are my rationale (probably flawed)
PS I've driven Cayennes and Panameras with and without PASM. Over there the PASM equipped are more comfortable. But then I think that's a totally different type of PASM (air suspension?).

Your Butt-O-Meter is working fine...
I found this posted by exponential, and if I may post this information on his behalf:
( I'm curious if these Spring rates are for both the Coupe and the Cabriolet models, and if the spring rates are progressive or linear?)
So, it would seem that the PASM would jolt the Body more over the same bumps due to the larger, read stiffer, springs.
Also, the New Carerra Classic 20's however, really do make the vehicle look sporty, whereas the 19" Carerra Double Spoke wheel, leaves one with a slightly less visual impact....
I also believe, and you may correct me if my rationale is skewed, that the Carerra 4 with a little bit more weight due to the higher capacity fuel tank and the increased curb weight would be more comfortable than the Base C2 model...
C2 vs C4 Cabriolet:
Curb weight 3,197 lbs 3,307 lbs Towing capacity (braked / unbraked)
Fuel Tank Capacity 16.9 gal. 18 gal.
Where is our resident C4S Specialist? lol we all know who that is...

I am afraid the SPASM would be stiffer than the PASM. Please see the fact below :
991 Spring Rates
Model_______Sway bar diameter_______front spring_____rear spring
991_________26.8 x 4.0 mm (hallow)____24 nm_________48 nm
991S________26.8 mm________________28 nm_________62 nm
991S Sport___28.0 mm________________33 nm________108 nm
991 Spring Rates
Model_______Sway bar diameter_______front spring_____rear spring
991_________26.8 x 4.0 mm (hallow)____24 nm_________48 nm
991S________26.8 mm________________28 nm_________62 nm
991S Sport___28.0 mm________________33 nm________108 nm
