Re: is the chrono useful for something?
It IS WORTHLESS!!!
The visual lapping function is very cool, displaying the colored circle in green, orange or red showing if you are faster, slower or the same speed .
The interface to do the timing is clumsey and it SUCKS!!
First lap you must start timing then move the selection down to interm time.
Cross line and then depress the stalk TWICE to start a new lap, and every suceeding lap.
Sounds simple and easy...
However at speed on a track where driving requires 110% of your concentration, at least for me, it is not so easy...might get it once and then forget since the focus is on driving.
When you get it right the display is just a glance to see if you are slower or faster, and is good.
The stopwatch in the dash is a WORTHLESS decoration.
Whose Great idea was this....

Re: is the chrono useful for something?
I am guessing that the timing function was added in for rally use or just for doing informal timing over distances. It is a bit awkward to use at first, but with a little practice it is not bad. Putting an additional function button in the PCMS to run the timer would be very useful for someone who has a navigator along in a rally.

on long trips me and my girl like to play a game. she would give me a number between 1 and 60, and I'd try to stop the chrono clock right on that number.
So what do you win when you get the right number?
lol, i get a prize.

Would be a great pleasure to hear the actual inside story at Porsche of how they reacted to us and other buyers' reactions to SC.
Did the "marketing type" responsible for getting it into production get a raise or promotion or did they get fired?

I bet you get a prize even if you don't get the right number..

He probably got promoted, and if not, he will be when he will suggest to create a 'CLOCK-DELETE' option (at $0) which can be ordered at the same time as the Sport Chrono Plus (for which the cost of course would remain)

Ah yes! LOL. You are right.
Why didn't I think of that?!
