I ordered it. I was told the dynamic engine mounts were part of it.

I will not be surprised if it eventually syncs with a GoPro. Software can be easily improved/upgraded.

You were told wrong. It's standard on the 991 GT3. Whoever told you that was stuck in 997.2 GT3-land.

The Sport Chrono is less useful than the painted key.

The dynamic mounts are standard on the GT3. The sports Chrono add extra options on 991S so it's a bargain. On the GT3 you get the wart and the software that's it. I didn't order dude to the fact I have never used it on my 991S. Didn't want to spend 2300.00 for a non use option. (I ordered red gauges 500.00 for the red wart)

I did not like the wart on the 997 and it's a little better only on the 991.
If it's a track app it should be std. On the RS. Seats $4k, track app $1400 that's $5400 justified right there

SC is a waste of money and makes dash look horrible. Most track events will give you transponder for lap times.

DEM Dynamic Engine Mounts are standard. You do not need Sport Chrono to get them.

Sorry, Maverick, I just saw you already posted this.

Even on the 997.2, SC did not include anything of value. DEMs were an option, but a stand alone one.

Well, I like the look of the 991 SC. If it looked like it does on the 997, I wouldn't have ordered it.

Mine may have locked. If it hasn't I may delete it. I'll order painted keys instead.

I am guessing the video feed comes from your phone's camera.

$1400 for a Iphone software app is a rip off. Cancel it. Get the painted keys
