I just drove one of our Panny 4S's and for launch I do not feel it makes the car any quicker. That being said I will support Chris's opinion that in the Carrera's it is a absolute must. Just the way it is.

I agree. My point was that for the Panamera S/4S it is not an absolute option. The Panamera turbo or the 911 is a different story.

If so, what do you use the sports chrono for during regular driving?

Yes, as with pretty much any Porsche. I prefer the 'crisper' throttle response. On the Panny I prefer it to the normal, more S550 like, drive. Crisper throttle and it stiffens the suspension. On Air Suspension equipped cars it'll lower the car a little bit.

The only time I would shut 'sport' off would be on the highway, with cruise control on, for the best fuel efficiency.

So you drive like a little girl?

how do you get the turbo into launch mode?

[Brobbins016]

Turn the sport plus on, stomp the brake, stomp the gas and viola launch mode! If you do not launch it within 3 seconds it will turn off. On the Pannys the center display will read "launch mode active" on the Carrera Turbo it's on the steering wheel.
