Some believe that Sport Chrono is more important in a PDK than a manual.
I wouldn't grind over the PSE. IF you want more sound, you can do a Fister/Gundo mod
and a center muffler delete if you want more sound.
Even though it's CPO, I'd go for a PPI with a bore scope inspection.
Just my 2 cents, but hope it helps,
Good luck,
Bill

I sold my .2 GT3 and bought a .2 C2. Did the headers/exhaust, Bilstein PSS9s, BBSs and a few aero pieces
.. if your into doing some personalized touches the C2 is a great place to start
do it!!
Mine didnt have sport Chrono or PSE and I couldnt care or less
you could scope it, but .2s hardly ever get scoring..

I suppose you never know whether something will develop after your 2 year warranty period but theres only so much you can do without going overboard. On a base 997.2, Id probably skip the ppi. You could maybe convince the dealer to scope it on their dime.
As for CPO. Not sure what the criteria is currently but dont expect it to mean you have no maintenance to do. You could just as easily have spark plugs to do in the very near future. Check on the maintenance and whats coming up.

I never did a PPI when I got my 997.2 10 years ago because it was a CPO. Used the same logic. Nothing blew up.

I should definitely maintain the car but they said it does not have to be at a dealership. I am interested in this car as the CPO gives a piece of mind to learn about the car and possible issues. I also think it makes the car more desirable to others if i want to sell and upgrade before the end of CPO.

Porsche Approved (CPO) Vehicles are inspected by factory trained technicians who conduct a 111-point mechanical, cosmetic and visual inspection, using original Porsche parts. Each vehicle must pass this rigorous Inspection before it can be eligible for enrollment into the Porsche Approved Certified Pre-Owned Program. Current model year vehicles and those of thirteen previous model years with less than 124,000 miles are eligible for enrollment.

Some CPO cars needing major services/etc.
Not performing PPI on Porsche is not smart.

Should probably have quoted my other post as this was just a copy/paste from Porsche on what they will CPO. I'm torn on the CPO PPI. You can get them to paint meter the car and you can look at it yourself, the service records, carfax etc but it's not like a strong no in any way shape or form. Wouldn't argue hard against it either ... just think I'd roll the dice on a base 997.2 cpo if paint meter, over rev, service history etc all check out.
