Shaman, this is a standard feature on the 987. And I know several 986 owners have done the hack or installed some device sold in Porsche related magazines.
I have only used this feature on my car less than 3-4 times. I just don't think this is a smart move for the top. Too many undue and unnecessary stresses being put on the top mechanism.
JMHO, but I suggest just waiting the 11 seconds, sitting still (I use the time to check my oil...only takes 6 seconds!) and just let the top do its thing!
Take care.
