Glad I sold my 2016!!! It is emission cheating!!!!

2017 with turbo's much cleaner

Better make sure the check covers the amount of the extra depreciation on your/our cars.

Can someone explain to me how Sport Chrono would be attached to this?

And I realize this is just speculation, but if it is indeed an emissions issue, how do you feel it will be resolved? Could this be a software update?
I don't remember what happened with VW. I know some people got checks, but were the effected cars essentially branded as red-headed stepchildren?

Sorry if these are dumb questions, just trying to understand.

I would think it's emissions in Sport Plus mode

BGLeduc

Just spitballing, but enabling Sport or Sport+ does change throttle mapping, right? And it does alter the rev limiter. Does it actually change timing or any other parameter that could affect emissions?

I don't get it. Who cares about emissions on used cars that are at least 4-5 years old? To me, cars should only be recalled for safety issues. I wouldn't want the performance of the car to be altered because of this

Not an issue for those planning to keep it for a long long time, like me. At this point the joy and happiness that brings to my life cannot be quantified.

My car is going to depreciate because it makes more power than it should? Nah. This isn't a 100 hp POS Jetta.

991's with sport chrono aren't going to suddenly be worth less than a 997 because Porsche doesn't know how to follow emissions law.

GSIRM3

No, they may depreciate more than they otherwise would if it is an emissions related issue and Porsche is forced by some government agency to implement new software that somehow makes the car produce less horsepower and performance than the advertised amount when new.

If you don't think it can impact cars value, check the value of Audi and VW diesel vehicles.

GSIRM3

Pretty sure with PDK in Sport Plus, the car does not shift until redline. More revs for longer period of time will probably increase emissions. Porsche possibly did not take that into account during testing, but it's just speculation.

Apparently no one at dealer level knows all the facts, or it is in fact a possible emissions scam by Porsche and very few are allowed to discuss the issue.

Sport and Sport + also increase the idle speed by about 150 RPM.

Values will only decrease if current owners start dumping them at scale for way less than they should.

I plan to flog the **** out of my GTS tonight when to go pick up my daughter from gymnastics. I will probably sport plus just to make more exhaust! Merica!

EFF YEAH!
