I believe someone ordered this car then cancelled, came in this a.m. with all the options I wanted (particularly sport chrono). My ideal color would have been altlas grey, but I decided this looked pretty damn good and would be much easier to keep clean.

I don't know if the sport chrono suspension button improves the handling, but it really changes the ride from quite supple to GT3-ish in an instant.
what is the sport chrono sport button? is that the PASM sport button??? or is that some other option? or does it come witht he Sport Chrono Package with the Lap timer together??? i am confused!

Thanks all....I've been porscheless waay too long.

yep I traded the Lotus, and the Range Rover Sport, which I bought, oh, 3 weeks ago! Got out of the RR almost whole, there were lots of electrical gremlins, mirrors adjusting themselves to different positions, park distance control going off when there's nothing there (ghosts maybe?) among the other issues with it. Nothing that couldn't be fixed easily, but just didn't give me that warm and fuzzy feeling considering it's a brand new car.

608TTS, the sport chrono package gives you the "sport" button as well as a suspension button which adjusts the suspension from supple to GT3-ish. Not sure if it helps the handling, but sure feels different.

Good to know that ford parts bin is at its normal standards.

Sad to see the Elise go but a 997S Cab isn't all that shabby.

Very sweet looking! Congrats and be safe. Are you planning to upgrade to the 997tt when it comes out? Give us your comparo between the 996tt and the 997 S.

Yep that's the plan....the 996TT felt much, much faster, but this car is certainly no slow poke. This car rides a bit smoother until you hit the sport/suspension button, then it's much stiffer. I really like the adjustability. I'm still trying to figure out how to change the radio station though....
