Hello guys, nice meeting you here around.
On the short i am awaiting my 718 Cayman S with PASM ( - 10 mm) and Sport Design Package, which will be my first Porsche.
,
First, the most burning question: do you guys think that my car will scrape while attempting to enter my garage?
My concern is especially when the car is halfway into the garage, that's the moment when the minimum distance occurs (somewhere in the middle of the car), but still 40mm + left.
Indeed, the BMW is significally longer (4943mm) compared to the Cayman (4379mm)
The second issue is about you helping me NOT to become paranoid as i have read quite a lot about scraping and ground clearance, but in the same time i refuse to belive that Porsche created those cars only for race tracks with perfect asphalt. I will drive most of the time in a city with generally decent roads and decent routes with not so many speed bumps, and even if there are some, they are generally not too high.
Thank you in advance !

- i have tried to measure the ramp angle from up to bottom and it is between 7-8 and 10-11 degrees (its not uniform)
- i am attaching a few pictures i took while attempting to park my other car (BMW M550d with a specified ground clearance of 140 mm, still no idea about the approach and departure angles), and it seems that i still have some space between the lower part of the car and the ground between 80mm *at most and 40-50mm *at least.
