Finally RL is coming around

I cant believe you cry babies getting upset over a clock, how about these OTHER supposed race cars?
The clocks on our cars are tastefully done small and make it LOOK like some kind of performance equipment.
Its the first thing everyone asks about, and a lot of them ask about a lap timer. So even the uneducated have
a small clue on what its for.
I must however admit some ignorance on the SC option, on the 997 you would lose some of the performance
without SC, is that not true on the 991?

I would have ordered it ....if I had a useful purpose for it? My 991S has it, and I have not used it once. Everyone that see it says nice clock. Sorry don't need a 2300.00 red clock to tell the time.

Sport Chrono is not an option on the new configutor for the 15s?

Laguna_Dude

there is no performance gain with SC for GT3 or RS on 997... maybe for standard Carrera's... same goes for 991. I had an RS without it.. still had a sport button... just no ugly wart that is never used. Looks a little better in 991.. but realistically, 99% of time, no one ever uses the lap time on the car, as you have to use transponders on track to officially log lap times.

Then what the heck is Porsche charging $1800 for? Like I said its not even an option on the 15 GT3,
But on the old C2S carrera I believe you didnt get the sport or sport plus button unless you got the SC package. It appears Porsche just let this sit out there to see how long they could get $1800 for nothing.

It's under the audio section, and you're correct only value for the 991S because of the extras. GT3 comes packaged minus the expensive clock.
