You can't get sport chrono without the chrono.

Oh good, I thought I am the only one going crazy ; D. If I get a turbo, it will be a DD, and for around town. I just love how aggressive it looks compare to the non turbo.

If you're not interested in the godly Turbo performance and want to save on spending why not look into a 911 GTS? It looks aggressive as well.

but it is missing the visual impact of those huge side scoop, lower front bumper and the spoiler. Third party spoiler just don’t do it for me. And it is a turbo!

For what it's worth, I have a turbo without the SC option. I specifically ordered it that way since I knew I was going to mod it anyhow. I have no regrets whatsoever but then again, my goals may be different than yours. I focused on entertainment value rather than resale. Good luck.

Just want to get an idea, it wouldn’t be a deciding factor to purchase a turbo or not.
