Hi everyone, the advice on this forum has always been fantastic, so I'm going to thank everyone in advance for their help with this question.

I'm in the process of ordering a manual 991 S Coupe and keep going back and forth on whether or not the sport chrono is worth it. I had a manual 997 C2S Cab that had it, but essentially other than revising the throttle mapping that's all it did. The 991 S has a separate sport button for throttle mapping, I'd get the dynamic engine mounts which were previously only available in the GT3, but since I'm getting the manual, I can't tell what else I'm getting. Porsche's web site seems to indicate I'd get even more aggressive PASM and throttle mapping. Is that true?

This will purely be a weekend/fun car. I'm not ordering PTV or PDDC.

Thanks again for your help and insight!

 

if you want to have the max amount of fun order it. get a colored face for the dash clock/timer that will enhance it (ie, red if black interior)

 

Get it, you'll love the bleeps!

It's worth the investment, IMO. You'll also get the rev-matching capability with SC.

 

I was on the fence like you but just added it to my order 2 weeks ago. If nothing else I bet it helps the resale. I've never driven one with out it so I don't do how the engine acts with out the mounts.

 

I would recommend it. I have a manual S coupe with Sport Chrono and I really like the versatility that the sport chrono provides. Sport Plus mode is a joy to have. If you are in my area, I can give you a ride to see the difference.

 

What about PSE? Honestly, if I have to chose just 1 option, I'll tick the PSE.

 

PTV is standard on an S in the U.S.

 

Silversled,
I'm in a similar boat as you. About to pull the trigger on a MT 991S. I decided to skip the sport chrono. I am doing PSE and going with a bunch of 'comfort' enhancements like leather.

Ultimately, i could not get to a clear rationale on why to get sport chrono. It's manual, so don't see the need for changed throttle mapping. Dynamic engine mounts don't seem to be so critical for how i plan to drive the car (DD, don't plan to track it).

Having made my decision, i can't say i'm 110% convinced it's the right one
