Sport Chrono is what gives you the Sport + button. In the 981, i believe it also adds the dynamic transmission mounts, more aggressive throttle mapping, the lateral g-force meter, rev-matching, and some other things (some of it varies depending on if you have PDK or manual transmission). Here’s a photo of the OEM description from a 981 brochure book. To my knowledge you CANNOT add it after the fact, like PSE (though some of the “tunes” can likely to the throttle mapping portion). -Dom

PSE? Yes. Sport Chrono? No. Never heard of anyone upgrading it (how could you - in a 981, there’s a different dash for the cutout of the “Chrono” clock?). If someone has done it, would love to hear about it (remember that, in the 986/987 it didn’t have rev matching, dynamic mounts, or the Chrono gauge, to my knowledge, so maybe THOSE can be upgraded?). Don’t take my word for it, see what dealer says and please report back...

Yeah...Dom991.1 is spot on. That will be an interesting conversation. Good luck!

The clock on the dashboard is useless IMHO.

Have you talked to any of the tuners like Softronic? Might be able to get similar benefits.

Won’t sport chrono have PTV? On a PDK car that’s a totally different gearbox.

No, SC does NOT automatically have PTV. I had a car with SC but not PTV...

Hi,

I have a 2010 BS (987.2) with Sport+ from the factory. It has rev matching in both Sport and Sport+ modes.

Worse part is it's not even a clock. I think the 981/718 chrono is a clock.

My 2006 Cayman S has Sport Chrono and does have the stopwatch on the dash. However, it does not have nearly as much functionality as the later cars (i.e., launce control). I think that the only thing mine does is measure zero to sixty, lap times, etc but to start the clock ticking, you have to hit the stalk on the column - it's not automatic.
