The mexico blue is just stunning . At 42 seconds they start it up.

+1 on Mexico Blue! And I like the headlights! What is the HP on the 09 Cayman S? I'm sure I can look it up, but it's more fun to ask you guys. wink*

320 . I just spec'd out a similar car . It would not allow me to include the Mexico Blue or the Ceramics . That blue car is nearly 100K factoring in special order paint , carbon, PDK .PSe, LSD , Pasm ... etc .. Yikes!!

I like the idea of placing Dfi, PDK , and an off beat color on this car (unique) . It's tight compact light structure combined with the increased Hp and LSD is very impressive.

It almost looks like video game .

What does PSe stand for? Porsche Sports Exhaust? I totally guessed that...

PSE is guessed correctly. I saw my first aqua blue in the sun today . Up until now I had only seen them indoors where lighting simply changes all cars appearance. It's a beautiful color . I think the reason why I liked the mexico blue is because it's so rare that it adds a very unique quality to the car .

It definitely is unique. Is there a particular reason why you'd choose PSE over aftermarket exhaust? I know you modded your 997 a lot.

It's sad that not many manufacturers have "nice" blue colors. (except exotics or higher end cars)
I liked Carribean Blue from Infiniti. Was aqua blue close to Carribean Blue from Infiniti by chance?

The cars in the video are bone stock . It's nice to see that Pse is offered and there are some who opt to keep their cars stock . I prefer to aftermarket a garage queen car (ie my turbo) but both my daily driver cars (M3 , Honda si) remain stock. Less cost to own. less warranty concerns, less wear and tear on a base engine, it's simply an option which can be factored into a purchase .

The aqua blue is similar but not identical to Infiniti blue . In fact it's even a shade different to the Cobalt (which I also happen to like) .

With the Cayman the Dfi and Pdk along with lsd can really up the ante on this model . The cayman has such versatility as being both a street and track car and thse items combined really enhance the car . That mexico blue car takes the cayman to a whole new level yet I do wonder why it has to cost nearly 100K . That's almost as much as a 996 Turbo cost only a few years ago . The technology (IMO) ought to have been placed without pricing the car this high out of its market .
