PASM vs aftermarket suspension?

PSAM means aftermarket suspension is not possible (atleast not yet, or it'll be expensive).

What are your thoughts on this? Does the 997S w/ the PSAM drive as good as a 997 w/ an aftermarket suspension? Will it?

However ... the 997 doesn't have 355HP ... or should I wait til the 997 GT3 come out (no PSAM)?

decisions decisions .... I know the decision is utlimately my, but your opinons are welcome.

Thanks.

Personally I'm opting for the "S" because I think its a good value. Try tacking on a big brake kit, suspension, wheels and 30HP in the aftermarket and you will find yourself well north of the 10K premium Porsche charges.

I did talk to Todd at EVO briefly about this. He said he would be working on suspension bits right away and could probably offer you some feedback in a week or so.

I don't know about the US market, but ROW models offer a choise between PASM and a sports-tuned suspension that is about 20mm lower plus it comes with an LSD. If that is also offered in the US version then it's the better option IMHO.
