Cayman S Dry Sump???

When I was at the dealer looking at the Cayman S window sticker, I saw "dry sump" lubrication listed. I was under the understanding that only the 911 Turbo, GT2, GT3 and Carrera GT had a dry sump oil system. I thought all the others had some type of wet sump.

On a related note is any Cayman owner afraid to track thier car for fear of oil starvation damage? I had an E36 M3 that ended up getting baffels in the oil pan to deal with this issue. Yes, I know Porsche will void your warranty if they can prove you tracked your car.

It really isn't a dry sump. It's an integrated dry sump. i.e. ---- sexy wet sump
