I'll second that. Didn't seem too hard to find the option when I was shopping and yes, I could add it later, but I liked the idea of having it stock. Most of the used 997.2s that were reasonably loaded seemed to have the sport chrono anyway. I also figured it would be of value down the road when I sell it. Not necessarily monetary value, but a plus in the nice to have for the next buyer.

FYI..I just acquired my 05 997 and immediately upgraded the IMS to the tune of approx $1600. Quick easy upgrade and now peace of mind. So dont rule them out if you can find a clean good mileage and good price one. $1600 small price to pay for that. I wasnt paying that much attention to Sport Chrono Package at all but as it turned out, the car I bought had it. Now I am very, very happy I went that direction because it is so much more fun to drive in Sport mode. Granted a bit harsher ride but a more aggressive launch and you can feel a significant difference. Drive down the road with your foot in the gas with Sport mode on and turn it off. You immediately feel the car back off a bit from acceleration. If I didnt have it, might not miss it but having it now makes it hard not to have it turned on at all times.
Enjoy
