Is Sport Chrono Plus needed in a GT3 ?

Came across several 2010 GT3's without Sport Chrono Plus.

Is it still a must have or is it essentially worthless performance wise since its a manual ?

I don't care about the "comfort" functions it offers.....does not having it affect performance at all ?...I would think not since it is a manual .

It definitely is a big plus for my PDK when in automatic mode.

What exactly does it offer ?

It's just an analog lap timer for your car. I think there was never a real need for this BUT when when I drive a GT without it I really miss it. Sport Chrono just looks perfekt on your car.

It's definitely useless, in other words you must have it!

Scott- SAVVYBOY did NOT order it on his GT3RS; on the GT3 it doesn't do anything but a lap timer.

On a regular 997 (did I just say that?!) it increases response via your right foot and also changes braking thresholds.

I still think that GR one you were looking at would be a clean car. Can I help out to make you feel better about it?

Good to know... I hate that lump on my dash, but it's a MUST for PDK cars. When I get my GT3 (some day, sigh...), it'll be lump-free.
