Q: Does the Sport Chrono Pkg also control the suspension and responsiveness of the throttle?
A. Controls throtle response on a 997. On a 997S that plus putting PASM in sport mode.
Also widens the perameter of PSM on both.
Sport exhaust is more throaty varoom sound...very nice indeed

A number of adjustments are made in Motronic when the Sport function is
activated.
The electronic throttle characteristicis switched to a steeper setting
(only in manual mode with Tiptronic S). This produces a faster throttle response to accelerator pedal movements to subjectively increase the spontaneity of the engine.
When the Sport Chrono button is pressed, is active in 1st to 5th gears
for the manual gearbox (without Sport Chrono function only in 1st and 2nd
gears) and in the manual setting for Tiptronic transmission.
The so-called dash pot is executed less smoothly and with less emphasis on
comfort. This means that the throttle closes fasterwhen released. The result
is a heightened, “racing-like” engine dynamic.
Sport mode allows the extreme driver to deliberately direct PSM interventions
away from driving stability and more towards agility and driving dynamics,
without having to sacrifice PSM support in emergency situations.
In addition PASM is automatically switched to its sport setting. This results
in harder damping and therefore more spontaneity when steering into corners. Body movements are noticeably reduced, improving road contact. Agility and driving pleasure, particularly on circuits, are also increased and overall driving stability in extreme driving situations improved.
