In the IT business we have a explanation for it. Its SBTK(**** behind the keyboard)
Hope no one take that personal, its just a accuall saying in the IT business as peopel always call support as they accually think the screen is the pc( they know nothing)
Please, dont take this wrong, not mening any bad, just a saying.

Oh, nothing relly, got a guy to do the overlay externaly, that I had no time to get in to. If you seen the csv. file, wow thats some amount of data
Other than that, all easy. Thing is I been in to datalogging since raclogics first came out their driftbox and even before. No way raclogics or any other on the market can compare to Porsches app in instant all data feedback. They just can't

I remember, hope you're doing well. My plan worked my GT4 is RY just like my 15CS was and my wife never noticed. Not even the wing.

You do have to understand she thought she owned a Lexus and its an Acura. So the bar was set pretty low. If you googled "car person" her picture wouldn't pop up. carl

I look at mine ever so often and turn it on to see the lights. Then I turn it back off in 10 seconds. Seriously useless to me. Left it off the GT4

Didn't get it, and having just picked up my car and recalling what Sport Chrono looked like in a GTS I rode in a while back, I'm glad I didn't get it, in fact I likely would have passed had it been a no-cost option. The second hand is huge, can't be stopped ever, and moves with a cheap-looking lurch rather than a precise tick.

So I'm backtracking on this and decided to add it to the build. The dash without the clock just looks a bit empty and the sports chrono really rounds it off, visually. I also didn't like how big the hazard button looked without it.

A completely irrational and largely useless addition. And I went ahead and ordered it. The lock date can't come soon enough.

I didn't want to get the sport chrono since basically it doesnt add any special performance features. I mainly added it for the looks as like everyone else says it looks complete.

I justified the SC because of aesthetics, as others mentioned, it completes the look for me... But after following Nur93's thread, I am glad I did option it as it does seem to add immense value once you figure out the app/sw.
