I think Porsche is the first to charge for overboost - (higher temporary boost) All other car makers have included that feature for free with their turbocharged cars that had it.Lancia has, Volvo has, Saab has.

But Porsche being Porsche - chooses to charge you more to activate what is already programmed in.

Yes it is a blatant "activation" rip off fee.

Im sure the Turbo S and GT2 engines will be running a little above max standard 997TT "overboost" bar as normal
to reach RC's mentioned accelleration times for them.

Porsche is using the excuse of Sport Chrono to charge for what should be free and is already there- the overboost feature. Its a very slimy and cynical thing to do to customers.

If BMW charged a extra fee on the M6/M5 to activate "full
power" on the I Drive, people would laugh at them. If Ferrari tried that This board would be loaded with anti Ferrari posts. But Porsche does it and its OK? I say no its not ok, its still insulting no matter how good the car is.
