Mike and Mach, I haven't driven a sport chrono base 987, so can you describe the more aggressive throttle setting? Does it just feel like the throttle responds more quickly or does it respond with greater urgency (I guess the latter would be described as feeling "torquier").

Throttle response is pretty good on my box, but sometimes it feels like they engineered a little latitude in which a pricey option could be inserted to improve the response (I can't imagine Porsche doing something so sneaky).

I would imagine then that there is in fact a discrepancy in 0-60 times with sports chrono on-off. Perhaps the 5.9 figure that's widely floated for the base is only achievable with the sport package.
