Why is the Chrono a must-have for you? I am not going to spec it, but have some degree worry I am missing out.

Below is a running list of the functionality that was added with my Sport Chrono on my 911 and Boxster. There is a lot of added functionality below that I use. I just don't know what the 992 GT3 includes other than what is on Porsche's web site (which is sparse). It didn't cost that much so I didn't want to miss out on any of those performance features below. I understand that the dynamic engine mounts, auto blip are not included in the SC package anymore.
Dynamic engine mounts
Rev matching in sport and sport + (manual)
Improved throttle mapping - throttle response goes to "performance". Throttle mapping can be turned to sport with the "sport" button. Sport is the same sport as in cars with SC, thus lifting the idle revs. Rev limiter is the same in all modes. It's just softer in normal.
Sport Response Button (pdk)
Launch control (pdk)
G-force meter
Clock with lap timer
Sport screen on PCM for lap analysis (and draws laps on PCM screen as you go around track)
Ability to download performance data to your laptop
Upshift indicator in MFD
Mode dial on steering wheel which also adds I-mode
Relaxed point at which PSM kicks in (i.e. allows more yaw)
Increases idle speed
Opens additional symposer tube for better sound in compartment.
Changes RPM limiter to sport from normal.
Rear axles steering, PASM, PDCC, PTM and PTV go to sport mode (Sport mode for PTM and PTV doesn't exist in a RWD carrera with a MT)

I think the case for having the chrono with the GT3 is much weaker than with my other two Porsches. Most of the functionality is already there with the GT3. (e.g. auto blip used to require sport chrono etc). I also like the clock, although I recognize that many don't like the disruption in the smooth flow of the dash.

Comprising an analog stopwatch on the dashboard, a digital stopwatch function in the instrument cluster and performance display in Porsche Communication Management (PCM).

I'm fine not having the stopwatch and chrono menu displayed on the dashboard as long as it doesn't take any functionality and data away from the Porsche Track Precision App. I assume it doesn't based on the 991.2 threads I've read, but would be great to get confirmation if anyone knows for sure if the behavior is the same in the 992 GT3.

Guards red
I'm still getting the guards red. Had it on my Gen 1 991gt3. Pops in certain light and not others. Wanted Agate or gentian blue. Saw both in person and liked both but not enough so changed to guards red. I've said before in this thread. The 992gt3 will look good in any color.
