I got my 2007 GT3 flawless condition from a dealer 1 year ago at 80k. Single owner,6000 miles, no options on the car, very stock.

I have the same car for sale, PM if interested. 30K miles now.

"No Chrono" is a definite advantage on a GT3
Does nothing and looks horrible

what's so wrong with sport chrono? I know it makes the throttle a little jerkier which isn't good on the track..but what else? Thanks.

sports chrono has no real benefit on a GT3, unlike on a car equipped with PDK.

Most GT3's that were custom spec'd came without the wart.

Still waiting on a reason other than "it has no purpose in that car"....I think it definitely does...hit the sport button and the car is very different than the "regular" mode....definitely makes it more fun as a car to drive around town, opens the exhaust, more power, louder, quicker, etc. On the track, it makes the throttle a little touchy, which could be a bad thing if you aren't careful, but just don't use it on the track if you aren't competent. If you want strictly a track car, then you should be getting a cup car anyway....gt3 is for the street with occasional track time.

Flame away.

Here's a hint...Sport Chrono has NOTHING to do with the Sport mode
Non-Chrono cars have the Sport button as well...thus the Chrono does nothing on a GT car. PDK ? Yes. Turbo? Yes GT3 ..NO

Ah, thanks Bill, I was unaware of that. Then what does the sport chrono do that it makes PDK better? Obviously, I thought the chrono was for the timer and the sport button. My bad.

Chrono in a PDK car means launch control ability.

Guys thanks for taking over my thread to argue the importance of Chrono package but can anyone recommend a ppi location in scottsdale? Other than a penske owned dealership
