Is Sports Chrono worth it ?

You sure you're not exaggerating? On the couple of 718S cars I tried it was a bit "meh". Had to look at the binnacle to see if it was working.

Maybe because I'm not as used to high performance/sports car motoring as you, goron. I guess I'm easily pleased!

[goron59]

Sure but you actually feel anything? Say you're on full throttle, then you push the button and it actually pulls much harder?

Maybe I should get a drive of the Panny ST to see

Have used it in a 991.2 C2 and in my Panamera. I definitely felt some effect, although was not already on full throttle when I pushed the button...

Sport Response Button = Full Starship Enterprise Warp Mode!

But only for 20 seconds.

[Wing Commander]

Indeed. Although maybe a skilled driver in Sport Plus and manual modes could replicate the effect...?

[Dandock]

I don't see why not as the entire system is 'intelligent' and reputedly learns from the ongoing driving style. If so then regularly mimicking Sports Plus should ultimately become the default.

Could the effect you felt be down to the change in the throttle map?

I usually am off throttle or stationary when I change modes, will have to try changing on a heavier throttle and under acceleration and see what happens.

[goron59]

We're talking about the boost button, right?

[Zinzan]

I don't think you will feel much if you are already at full throttle, and I'm not sure you're meant to. However, if you are, say, looking to overtake several cars at once the button works very well to give you everything with one press followed by full throttle and no fiddling about. Works very well in my Boxster S.
