How are you going to steer, shift, watch the road, and operate the Sport Chrono in about 5 seconds??
I hope you are not buying the Boxster for 0-60 times. You will be sorely disappointed. There are much better choices and cheaper options, if that is your ultimate goal.

No, I'm not buying the Boxster for 0-60 times. But then Road&Track got a 0-60 time of 4.1 seconds for PDK equipped 2009 Boxster S. Not too disappointing to me
---that's 997 territory, even turbo not too long ago. The game has changed for the Boxster if you're willing to shell out the extra cash. But for me, it's all about the whole driving experience: road feel, handling, the sound etc... acceleration is much lower down the list. we each enjoy different aspects of driving. I personally would enjoy playing around with the 0-60 feature (if it were more user friendly) just to challenge myself to get better at launching, shifting the manual tranny faster etc... just an added game on my way to work.
Seems like Porsche could have made a system that starts the clock when you nail the go pedal and spit out the time on PCM when hitting a specified speed. so thanks for the info---sounds like that is probably not the case.
I do understand what this option can do for the driving experience, I just didn't read anything about this particular idea hence my question.
