personally i dont like warts on my skin, thus i dont like 3rd eye on dash
i dont really know what it does and i dont really care either. if it added 300hp, i would still not get it. b/c i cannot deal with the look, that's just me.

Have you seen it in person on the 991GT3? I agree completely on past versions, but this one is much more integrated. It flows with the dash design much better than the after thought wart of versions past.

Some people are drawn to such things. Others not so much.
Had one on my c4s, not on my 997.1 GT3, and not on my 991 GT3 coming soon.

It's only valuable if you use it! I have heard it will kill resale bla bla, it appears to be a fifty/fifty split thus resale is not impacted. Not for me I've used the one in my 991S by accident and never touched it again.

I love the look of it in the 991. It looks a hundred times better than the SC in the 997/987 cars. I like the integrated clock as well, and it looks cool at night.

I liked it so much, that I'm paying 3 times as much for the SC in my 15' GT3 as the $400 I paid for the SC in the 2014 GT3 that I traded in.

Agreed. It looks terrible on the 997 version. It looks great on the 991.

The first 2015s are on the boats now. Should be on the street in two to three weeks.

My understanding is that buckets are only available on November and after builds. The 2015 cars on the boat are September builds.

I would guess no because my car is still sitting at the port and was locked before the buckets were available.

Correct. No October builds with buckets, as far as I can tell. November onwards.

On a C2 or any other model SC has an advantage as it remaps throttle mapping etc. when used. I would use it daily on my previous Carreras and turbo.
