Default 2014 Carrera (base) Question: PASM or Sport Chrono Pkg.

I thought I had my 2014 C2 Cpe. well-optioned and ordered. Change freeze point June 4th, expected delivery Sept 6th. But there is this nagging question in the back of my mind: Should I have ordered the Sports Chrono Pkg., instead of PASM. Thought I'd ask the opinion of forum members. Which one of the two options would be best for a base 991 with PDK, considering suspension comfort, sport modes, overall enjoyment and fun, etc., etc.

Thanks again for your input and suggestions.

From what I have read, the Sport Chrono Package is essential if you have PDK but more of a nice to have if you have a manual transmission. This is because Sport Mode adjusts the automatic shift points in the PDK to be more aggressive. That being said, I have a manual transmission 997 Carrera S with PASM but without sport chorno myself.

Don't know about the 991, but I wouldn't live without SC in a 997.2 with PDK. I bought a base C2 without the SC, and added it right after I bought it. Money very well spent.

Are you tracking the car? If not you don't need PASM.

I've got SC and PASM with my PDK and I would never get a PDK without SC. I'm not as certain about the PASM, but from what I understand the standard setting with PASM is more comfortable than without, and it seems to be. I have no use for the clock, so adding SC later is a good option.
