Default sports package?

thinking about a 2011/2012 CTT - do you all think the sports package ( pdcc, ptv plus) is worth the money??

i want to get a "base" turbo -but not sure if these electronics are really worth the $$$

thanks!!

Go out and drive one with PDCC/ptv, one without. Matter of preference and the only way to make a decision. I would never care to get those options, so my P!G doesn't have them

drove friends' brand new cayenne turbo with porsche power upgrade (540ps), pdcc & ptv plus and I must say that my CT-S feels like a semi on twisty roads compared to the new turbo.
I'd say it's definitely worth it if you want to drive the car as it should be driven and not just use it to get groceries from local supermarket...

I have a 2011 CS with all the optional handling stuff; AS with PASM, PDCC, and PTV, so the chassis would be comparable to a CTT with PDCC and PTV. I am continually impressed by how well the car turns in and responds to steering inputs and how flat it stays in turns. It seems to defy physics for a vehicle this size. It's not quite the same as my Carrera but it is definitely the Carrera of SUV's.

So can you tell the difference with PDCC and PTV? Absolutely. Is that difference worth an extra $5K for those 2 options? Well it was for me, and I would definitely order them again, but it's not like the car wouldn't handle acceptably without them. They are icing on the cake and only you can decide if the extra frosting is worth it to you.

Sport Package is outstanding if you are going drive the twisty roads. I have 2011 CTT with sport package. PDCC, PTV plus the sport steering wheel from the 911 all add to the experience. Not worth it if using solely as a grocery getter.

thanks for the responses - so today I test drove a CTT without the PDCC and the PTV - I thought it pretty much kicked @$$...!! I guess I felt content with the car set in sport mode for suspension - and just not sure about the added cost for the electronics, but again, I did not test drive the car with these additions
