The sport chrono in the 991 adds dynamic engine mounts which the link below explains how it works in the different modes ... Personally I think SC is a must have option not for the wart/clock but more for the dynamic engine mounts and the sports+ mode. I almost didn't order it, luckily the manager of the dealer told me at the time to order it and said he doesn't order a car for dealer stock without it.

How about this one?
High-ish mileage and it still has an IMS bearing, but it has sport chrono... http://www.porscheoftysons.com/detai...-15151615.html |

Yeah, mine look better than that. But not as much better as I wish they did.

did a dog chew on that navigation button
sorry, more my nitpicking issue. I test drove a 997.1 a few years ago and had the same issues. Annoyed me for paying good money. |

The pre-09 navigation is barely usable. The buttons are the last thing you're going to care about when you're hooning a porsche.

Would be nice to get a better climate control panel, though. |

That dealership actually has a couple of 996's - a 100k mile turbo, and a 99 that looks really nice in photos.
