Agree with those who have said to order the PASM. Definitely get it; I wouldn't consider it an "option" on a 991.

Assuming you aren't talking about an "S" otherwise PASM is standard..

But if I was getting a base, I'd absolutely get PASM, without question...

I typically leave PASM on during normal driving as I find the standard, way to soft..

Agreed. Well said, Brad.
