Absolutely order the car with sport chrono for the following reasons:

1. Suspension changes...launching the car without the sport mode feels like a weekend at the funny car races....front end flies way up in the air...this equates to wasted energy that should be harnessed to launching the car forward (not upward).

2. Chips are written for SC mode

3. Performance boost

4. Switch panel looks "stripped" without it

5. Resale


I echo the sentiment that the chronometer looks a little too "Fast and the Furious" for my taste. Also, it is inconvenient to have to turn the sport mode on each and every time I enter the car.

Anyone know if the car's computer can be tweaked to keep the sport chrono on.

Hope this helps.
