Meant to point this out earlier, but how does him being from Germany make him an expert on Porsches, BMWs, or any other German built car? That'd be like him assuming a US resident knows more about Chevy's or a Japanese person about Toyotas. I am way more familiar with European and Japanese cars than US built machines, despite being an American.

(yes, there are many mid-engine cars, that are more difficult to handle under throttle lift than a Cayman, I know.)

If you can't handle that you should leave the PSM on.

Why would you disable the PSM in snowy conditions--not many people are going to try and hoon thei street driven P-car in the snow.
I'd be interested to see how many people actually complain about PSM infringing on their ability to flog their Cayman...my guess it's not many....and my assumption (yeah, I said it), is that anyone that "complains" probably just got their ass saved by the nanny.
