I would be very interested to know if this feature can be added to an earlier 991 with sport chrono pkg. anyone aware if this is possible? Sounds like this is just a software change to me.

Any 991 S or Base Carrera with Sport Chrono Pkg rev matches downshifts when Sport plus is activated

It was built the first week of switchover to 2013.

Do you have the sport chrono package ... I believe this is needed to get the rev matching feature.

I assume you are meaning to skip gears (i.e. downshift from 6th to 3rd)? Anyways, the computer always knows what gear you are selecting and knows how fast the car is traveling, so it's an easy computation to know what revs are appropriate (just as any decent driver would know).

What an absolutely colossally stupid option.

Yes, I am talking about skipping gears. That said, I don't shift very slowly, and by the time the computer figured out that I wanted to select say 4th (say from 6th), it would still have to apply throttle when I'm basically in gear already.

It doesn't matter how many gears you skip the computer is faster and spot on IMO.
