[The Car Connection] 2009 Porsche Cayman Review - The Car Connection: Edmunds reviewers remark that "also available for the 2009 Cayman S is the Porsche Design Edition 1," which "has added design features such as black paint with matte black stripes, 19-inch wheels, a chrome-plated sports tailpipe and a custom interior color scheme." Kelley Blue Book says that "a key visual differentiator between the two models is that the Cayman S wears 18-inch wheels fitted with lower-profile tires than those that wrap the 17-inch rims on a base Cayman," and they find that "the top-line variant also has a subtle black front spoiler lip" and "a large single oval exhaust."The praise for the styling of the Porsche Cayman is not limited to the exterior. Although ConsumerGuide approves of the "racy design" that "puts the tachometer appropriately dead ahead on the instrument panel" and the fact that the "control layout is logical," they also note "the audio and climate systems are governed by too many undersized, look-alike buttons." Cars.com agrees, saying that "the radio button layout isn't the best, and the sun visors are tiny." Overall, however, Kelley Blue Book deems the cabin "well-finished." Many reviewers also love the interior styling, which Kelley Blue Book says features "easy-to-scan gauges—with black faces on the base Cayman and satin-aluminum dials on the Cayman S," along with "well positioned main controls and supportive bucket seats." Edmunds loves the gauges too, finding them to be "large and easy to read."

[drive blog] drive blog: Great motoring myths - what's your favourite?: In terms of the blow-by, overall the supercharged motors tend to run less max boost pressure (for reasons outlined above - they don't need as much). However, I would be very surprised if any of the more seriously modified LS motors you refer to don't have either or both of a) more comprehensive oil-control mechanisms, including recirculating oil catchers, b) more aggressive piston ring side profile (ie scraping more oil off the sides of the bores).
