0-60 Times :(

I love my Targa4s as it truly is more fun to drive than my sl55 but doesn't have that 0-60 torque I am used to. If the Turbo came in a Targa I would buy it in a heart beat. That being said, is there a chip that would improve my off line power? I don't want to start doing mods as I change my car to often and don't want trouble selling it.

The only way to get considerable HP reasonably is to supercharge it.

It does not do any such thing. It merely allows you to reach WOT with less accelerator pedal travel.

I love mee sporto crono!! When i feel like making my 911 a little peppier I push the button and more fun to drive around. Feels like you shift quicker and all because as soon as you touch the throttle with say 5% throttle input you are now giving the car 20%.
Also it activates the pasm for me too, so for me, its my turbo boost button(in my head)...

The porsche should take an sl55 0-60 pretty easily if driven properly. But then again 4s plus targa is heavier so I dont know how much slower itll be.

This is totally incorrect. Sport Chrono will have no impact on 0-60 times at all.

Absolutely. The only difference it makes is in your wallet.

I never said it increased HP or speed, it just wakes up the car and it feels different. Anyone who has it will agree with me.
