I have asked a couple of the OPCs and been told that they can't retrofit Sport Chrono to the 991, never sure whether the OPCs are aware of what can be done sometimes.
I appreciate that I wouldn't be getting the clock/ wart (not at all bothered about that) but working on the fact the OPCs are correct in this instance does anyone know if any of the independents can retrofit the button and do the software changes?

No it can't. One of the main bits of sc on a 991 is active engine mounts. Not just gearbox software and a wart as it is in the 997. It's a good value option on the 991 as is active headlights. I just wish you could spec it without the dash clock

I understand that the active engine mounts aren't going to be a retrofit but if they weren't required on the 997 are they on the 991, while I am sure they help as they presumably did on my 981 i would just like to get the quicker gear changes courtesy of the software.

The gear changes in sport in a non sc 991 are pdq. I'm not convinced that are any quicker in sport plus.sport is standard with pdk, so the benefits of sc on the 991 are the dynamic mounts, and launch control. Sport loosens up the psc and speeds up the gear changes without the need for sc.

SC makes gear changes more pronounced and slackens the electronics more than just the sport button.

In the 981 I felt the gear changes in sport chrono were more how I expected them to be. Really enjoying the C4S but would like a bit more from the changes if at all possible.
