hey Guys,
I was drivin' with my 5 year old son today, up in the hills of Malibu... and my sweet little boy asked (once again) about the 'timer' on my dashboard... (the chrono, you know...) And he says, "Daddy, how do we use that?" And Daddy was like.... uh... well... I'll have to find out!"

Truth is, I've owned my 06 997 s since March of 08... and never engaged that awesome lookin' accessory... I KNOW I CAN READ THE MANUAL.

But this is just an excuse to say hello and check in with this awesome forum.

How many have used the chrono?

How do you like it?

Oh yeah... and how do I use it???

Thanks!
DJS

 

I'm worse than you; have had my car since March, 2006 and never used it either! The aggressive throttle mapping, relaxing of PSM make it worthy, to me at least.

 

I actually tried to use it, I wanted it to read 911, but its too fast plus I quit
after 3 tries.

 

It's pretty much useless and quite frankly a distraction to start/stop it while driving or tracking. What would be really cool is if the passenger could control it while running laps so you don't wreck your car trying to set it ...

 

If you can stop it at 911, then it has a use. I guess it's a good conversation starter as well, but not much help beyond that.

 

It is best used at the track where you can program the distance around the track and have it record lap times for you. If you don't track then it is best used for timing how long it takes your wife to come out to the car...

 

LOL

 

lmsbo:d

 

I leave it on because I like it lit up at night. Yesterday, I used it to time how long it took for us to get into the Holland Tunnel in heavy traffic, just so I could prove to my wife we should have gone up to the Lincoln instead. (I was wrong) ;-)

 

 

That's exactly what I tried, not easy, unless you are a humming bird

 

I think it would be great if someone could turn it into a clock. What a shame that it is so useless

 

Pretty much useless for day to day driving. I personally like the look of it. You use the left stalk thingy to use it, IIRC. Press it go up or down till you get to chrono. Select that and off you go. I think you can operate it from PCM too.

 

Dude, you almost got me in trouble at work...
