With SC on Gen 2 the big gain is the steering wheel control for modes. Whether that is worth £500 depends on how you drive the car and whether you are a regular user of modes. I would order SC again despite not using launch control or timing. I regularly use the switch to move to Sports mode or Individual set to Sports for engine and sports plus for Suspension

Selected a few options. Is it worth getting Sports Chronos bearing in mind is only a 2l model? Asking because I like the clock thing on the dash. However ordering a compass/clock to fill the space costs around £240. For £500 more can get the Chronos pack. Should I just go for Chronos pack? Any views, thoughts welcome and gratefully appreciated
I'd say the Chrono thing on the dash is a waste of space, save your cash and put it towards Burmester!

It won't do much for the performance, but it is hugely appealing at resale. Had it on my Gen 1 Macan and my Cayman GTS: never used it, but both cars sold for good prices and quickly. The dash clocks did look nice :)
I'm speccing it again on the GTS, but mainly for the controller, and resale appeal. I'll never launch control mine :!:

In which case to my mind a sports car should always be a convertible with a manual gearbox and no electronic aids.
