Why so few sport chronos in manual trans cars?
I’m scanning the Porsche used car locator a few times a day looking for a 2013-2015 S with a 7 speed manual. I’m surprised at how few have the sport chrono option. From all the threads I’ve read on the topic, it’s worthwhile even with a manual trans. Why do so many original buyers pass it up?

It is a pride thing. The rev matching technology is not welcomed in the church of manual transmissions....
I have a manual transmission and love the Sport Chrono option.

Lol. I have no church. Rev matching is awesome.
I have two Porsches, both with SC and MT. Love them. Ordered. Never selling them which is why you wont see them on the market.

1. Rev matching
2. Improved throttle mapping
3. Dynamic engine mounts
4. relaxes the point at which PSM engages
5. G-force meter
6. Clock
7. Laptime stopwatch
8. Sport screen on PCM with lap comparisons
9. ability to download car/engine data to excel for analysis or pairing with video
10. Upshift indicator
And probably about 10 others that I forgot about.
See response above.

OK, so SC/manual provides some good stuff, rev matching (auto-blip), better throttle mapping (sprint booster) and higher PSM thresholds (less nannies). 997.2 owner so I'm not familiar with dynamic engine mounts, but the first three would be worth it to me.
Wow. There is a lot more going on than just that. Let me count the ways and I am sure I am missing some.

turn off PSM and rev matching goes away in all modes and you can control everything......unless you like PSM which is a computer controlling how the car behaves. LMAO. sorry.....couldn't resist.
No. It is awesome and is perfect EVERY time. It's not intrusive at all. It feels totally natural after the first 10 downshifts.
