Sport Chrono & PSM
I've always thought that the best reason to get the sport chrono pkg was the intermediate PSM setting in sport mode: not as intrusive as PSM can be at times, but still there to help you out a little if you get into real trouble. I couldn't find any references in the sport chrono threads on the different PSM setting, so I'd like to hear what you who are all blessed with sport chrono think: is there a noticeable difference in when PSM intervenes in sport vs normal mode? Is the sport PSM setting too crazy (ie. once it kicks in it's too late) or too intrusive?
... It was wet today on the streets, and a friend of mine just picked up a GT3 so, on the way back from dinner we were goofing around, I pressed the Sport Chono ON in my 997S at a stop light and from a dead stop I took off and the wheels of my 997S were still spinning and the back end still snaking even when up through second gear!. You can't do that with normal PSM setting (though the rear LSD of the -20mm probably helps too), and same with tight city turns in first/second gear to play around with the back end a bit.
Glad the Sport Chrono is so much more forgiving!
Its useless really, its just a chrono-clock that you can't even see, theres is the PCM screen for that, but still useless. The good thing about Sport Chrono Pack is the throttle response and less intrusive PSM setting.
