Sport Plus

I typically drive in Sport mode. I like the sound, gearing and overall performance. Today I was out early and decided to hit the sport plus button. Wow what an amazing difference.


Other that holding the gears to just about red line, what else does it do? Also, does it disable any of the stability controls or ABS brakes?

Check the Owner's Manual under the Sport Chrono section and it is all in there.

or someone could just tell him. But no it doesnt disable the ABS. Quicker throttle response, road feel/stiffer.

Always sarcasm with you....every post. Very thorough answer BTW...That is much more helpful than what is in the owner's manual...

Whatever....

What??? He asked a question that you could have answered or at least helped him out. You wasted bandwidth telling him to go look it up himself. I am SURE he knows he can go find it but he wanted to ask about his car.

Thanks for your insight though. Its so helpful. Lemme guess on the next question you will recommend a search or perhaps someone google it, seeing you don't know yourself but want to make a post.

Seriously if you cant answer the question, then dont post. Why dont you link the post where the guy copied from the owners manual what sport Chrono does?

I gave cliff notes. Deal


Sport Chrono Package

The Sport Chrono Package including dynamic engine mounts is available as an option. This integrated system provides simultaneous enhancement for the chassis, engine and transmission. Included in the package are a performance display, a digital and an analogue stopwatch and the SPORT PLUS button. An additional display in the steering wheel and instrument cluster indicates whether the SPORT buttons and Launch Control have been activated.
On activation of SPORT PLUS mode, Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) and, in the 911 Carrera S models, optional Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control (PDCC) switch to a harder damping setting and offer more direct steering and, therefore, better roadholding.
In SPORT PLUS mode, the trigger threshold for PSM is raised. Agility is perceptibly enhanced when braking for corners with PSM, allowing sportier braking and exit acceleration. For even greater dexterity, PSM can be set to standby while the car is still in SPORT PLUS mode. For safety, it is set to intervene automatically only when ABS assistance is required on both the front wheels.
In combination with PDK, the Sport Chrono Package has two additional functions for a sporty drive that borders on a motorsport experience. The first is ‘Launch Control’, which can be used on the track to achieve the best possible standing start – a racing start.
The second function is the ‘motorsport-derived gearshift strategy’. Using this, Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) is geared up for extremely short shift times and optimum shift points for the maximum acceleration available. This combination of uncompromising and involving performance is ideal for the racetrack.
A key component of the Sport Chrono Package is the stopwatch mounted on the dashboard. In conjunction with optional PCM, a special performance display enables you to view, store and evaluate lap times or other driving times. It shows the total driving time, lap distance, lap number and lap times recorded so far.
A feature of the Sport Chrono Package borrowed from motorsport is the dynamic engine mounts. These exploit the laws of physics for your own driving pleasure.

Thanks I appreciate the response. I had a lot of fun with it and felt like the watchmen were turned off and wanted to be sure I don't bite off too much.
