Sport Chrono features without the stopwatch?
I know it's a longshot, but is it possible to get the dynamic engine mounts, sport plus button and rev matching downshifts without taking up prime highly visible interior space with a stopwatch I'll never use?
I don't see any technical reason why you'd be required to get a stopwatch in order to have sport plus, dynamic engine mounts, and rev match downshifts. How are they connected?

I think your chances of getting Sport Chrono without the dash doo-dad are about as good as getting Burmester without the wart. But while you're on it, see about deleting headlight washers too, okay?

Could a dealer remove the clock/stopwatch from the dash and replace the cover to make it look like a car without it?
I'd really like to get the features from the package, but it's not worth the tradeoff of having to look at the stopwatch.
I only have a little bit of time before my order is finalized so I'm just going through all the options again to make sure

Porsche is supposed to be coming out with a Sport Plus upgrade for the 991 like they did for the 997. No wart but all the features of sport plus package. It was only $1K for the 997.

BIG difference 997 vs 991 functionality. Mainly dynamic motor mounts and rev matching on manual downshifts. Not gunna get that for a grand.

Personally, I love seeing the Chrono clock up on the dash. When I come up on another 991 it's the first thing I look for through the windshield It's also your only option for a factory analog clock.

I looked the other day, and on my TTS I have no fewer than 4 time displays on the dash.

Yup, I count the same number of clocks. 3 digital (in the instrument gauge, on the PCM screen and in the sport chrono clock) and 1 analog (sport chrono clock). I never have an excuse for being late when I drive my C2S!

I drive 99% of the time with the engine info up in the display. Distance to empty on top and only the outside temp on the bottom. Since I'm a cheap a** I have the base PCM stereo so half the time the PCM is turned off. That leaves the Chrono clock up top. I also like to time my 7 year old daughter with the Chrono and see how long she can go without talking. I mean that's what a $135k car with Chrono is for anyway. Right? Not the track. Definitely not in Los Angeles.
