    About Sport mode and PASM.

    Does Sport mode only works good with PASM? If a base Carrera doesn't come with the PASM, is it optimal to get it along with the Sport Chrono pack?

    Not sure about this one, but you might go to the PCNA web site and build a car from scratch and check on the options list.

    Or just call a dealer and ask.

    Most of the time I use the Sport mode on my Carrera S while leaving the PASM in normal. That gives me the throttle response improvement and the PSE sound but with the softer suspension which, in my opinion, is superior in everyday roads with their ripples and bumps. I'd leave the sport setting on PASM for smooth tracks or smooth stretches of road only.

    Hello Bon,

    I have PASM on a 997, and it is excellent...nicely lower ride height with sports supension AND ride improvemnts. I have absolutely no sense of needing enhanced throttle response, so if you do not need a fancy clock, forget it.

    I have summer BBS RS-GT 18in for appearance and weight [that wheel looks as large as a 19, as design affects size appearnace greatly] and your ride/compliance is much improved. Use the Carerra III wheels for winter ...............

    Actually, you should use as small a wheel as possible (diameter and width) for winter tires (definitely not 19's)...
