    I just noticed that the upcoming 997 GT3 RS doesn't have this (IMO ugly) "Sport Chrono" clock on the dash.



    The rental Ford Ka I had the pleasure to enjoy last week in Holland had the Chrono Sport package! We now know where Porsche got the inspiration from...







    The Ford ka is really a vanguard in car design Porsche's sport chrono, Merc's wide fenders (S class), BMW's flaming surfaces...

    jerrygee, that is one HOT car. Except for exterior color adaptive seats, and nav, its basically my dream 911.

    Pls share some pics and thoughts when it arrives.

    Thank you very much for the kind words and ringing endorsement! As you know, it is quite easy to get carried away while building your future P-car on the Porsche website, I know of no other production car manufacturer that offers such an extensive list of options; it has been great fun! I look forward to posting pics and my thoughts after its arrival.

    Re: Why comes the track machine without Sport Chrono clock?

    While I rarely find a need to time anything with the chrono I seem to always use the Sport Chrono button to get a higher throttle response from the engine. I generally use it all the time.

    Dan

    P.S. I use most of the buttons around the display because I actually DRIVE the car vice merely TRACKING the car. But then, I've always been a Porsche DRIVER and not a Porsche RACER. I may not entirely like the way Porsche chose to place the chrono timer up there but it's there and it works. With Porsche, I have found that if I don't care for something (styling) initially I find that it grows on me in time.
