I didn't know you could retrofit, and the clock doesn't offend me - suspect 95% of buyers would be of the same opinion which is why most have SC

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Hardly use the SC function and without it you don't have the ugly looking stopwatch on dash. It was a must have option when buying new but you can fit the extra boost/torque via OPC as retro fit. I wouldn't bother truth be told. You'd be better off spending the money on a sports exhaust and remap.
I actually leave mine on all the time apart from when in slow traffic. You can notice the difference, i guess it depends how much cheaper the car is without it and it's condition. They are plenty quick even without it.

Going to look at a 997 turbo convertible....it has no sports chrono
Is it a must "have" with a 997 Turbo and also will it affect residuals when its time to sell.
All help will be appreciated

FWIW I would not have considered one without it, due to overboost functionality, I always have sports mode on and PASM in normal (manual 997 turbo)
I didn't know you could retrofit, and the clock doesn't offend me - suspect 95% of buyers would be of the same opinion which is why most have SC

Definitely could affect resale and I would hazard a guess 90% of turbos (cab or coupe) were specced with S/C so why compromise. plenty of other cars to choose from. I would not be buying one without it

True but can be retrofitted without clock, which is always an option should everything else be spot on.
If its a great car I would not let it bother me. It was a must have but like others state it can be retro fitted and you can always map the car anyway if you want the extra performance. I do find it handy sometimes when you want less throttle response when cruising on the motorway or in stop go traffic.

Plenty around, make sure you get a spec that will be easy to sell on unless you plan to keep it forever.

The sport mode gives you more throttle response and more torque for I think 20 secs when the car is stock.
For me its nice I guess to switch off sport mode when the car is tuned as it is a calmer drive/less aggressive.

Overboost for 10sec (+60NM). Lift of the gas (reset) and another 10sec and so on.....

Yep I know what sport mode does, your post read to me like SC was a positive because normal mode was somehow more relaxing than a non-SC car (whereas normal mode is presumably the same as non-SC car)

Yes it is more relaxing to drive in non sport mode.

Than a car without SC fitted? That was my question.
