My reference was to teeth.

You are the 2thFxr are you not?

 

Why not just make 10 louder?

 

Missed that....

 

My car has sport chrono. I can't say that I'm all that impressed with it - but it does look really cool lit up @ night.

I don't really care for the throttle mapping. If it were like the TT and actually *added* power as opposed to changing the throttle sensitivity I could see that it would be addictive.

Strangely enough at my last auto-x - I was experimenting with car setting. It was a practice event so we got 12 runs instead of 3 or 4.

The car was faster with PCM off and with the car in Normal and not Sport.

Sport was too stiff and the car skittered around. In Normal the additional compliance helped the car stick during bumpy transitions.

 

Not arguing that point, SC makes the car FEEL faster and more responsive esp in around town driving. Obviously SC does not add anything to top speed or acceleration times but the car definitely feels sluggish without SC on. It's more than just a simple remap of the throttle curve like some are suggesting. Directly from Porsche's website,

"In Sport mode, the engine management system’s variable parameters are recalibrated to enhance engine response. A modified throttle map empowers your right foot with more progressive reaction to each tap of the accelerator. In higher gears, a rev-limiter works in tandem to offer additional protection for the engine under acceleration."

 

I love my sport chrono!!!!!!
I dont think is useless!!!!! I think is a non excuse option!!!!!!!

 

wtf, I have sport chrono but it does not light up at night. Do you have to have the thing turned on for it to light up or should it light up at night when the lights are on regardless?

 

Mine lights up at night when the lights and sports chrono are both on. If the timer is off, then so is the chrono. You can freeze the chrono at a certain time (mine is at 9.11--took lots of tries), and it stays lit up at night.

 

Hmm i will give that a try...thanks for the info.

 

Be thankful you don't have that useless wart on your dash. Car is no faster or more powerful and actually harder to drive due to the twitchy throttle map.

Honestly, be happy you have a great car and stop worrying about a gimmick

 

Porsche's marketing speak notwithstanding, unless you're bouncing the engine off the rev limiter then the SC really is nothing more than a simple remap of the throttle curve. I'd argue that the normal mapping only feels sluggish if you're accustomed to the SC's twitchier mapping. If you never use the "sport" mode then the normal mapping isn't going to feel sluggish at all. It's simply a matter of what you're accustomed to.

SC doesn't actually accomplish any performance improvement. If you don't have it (or don't use it) you'll never miss it.

 

Since I added a Plenum and Headers I find the SC totally useless.

 

If you bought that car it will be tougher to sell without the chrono dude. I'm happy with it, it's always on in my car.

 

Lol. Or like a significant other with a padded bra...?

 

never use it at all.
