Sport Chrono - Pretty Cool

[lexuspilot]

I drove a 987S today. It was a reps car that had some 5k miles on it, so I felt not-so-guilty flogging it.

But the real story was I got to really use the "sport chrono". The salesman, a friend, had spent the past couple weekends really trying all the features of the Sport Chrono in a CS.

What it does, besides adjust motronics and PASM, PSM(we already all know that part)....

Using the computer stalk you can start and stop time and do lap time, and compare to a reference lap you saved.

If you also have PCM, with the big screen, you get a display that shows your referance lap and your progress, wether ahead of time-ontime-or behind. It used a graphic that looks like a CD that fills up like a pie chart to show where you are versus your referance time. It also shows how many laps left in your fuel tank. It has memory for two hours worth of laps. You can type in names for these laps such as "drive to work", "county road 22" then pull them up when driving that circuit again and measure your time against your best. I guess this was meant to use on a track, but can easily be used on the street applying rules. If you were at a track it would be easy to save a whole track event worth of laps on there.

It also displays them as a bar graph, and this is where you select the keepers, or assign names, or delete them.

And the analog timer matches all of this as well.

I didn't have my camera with me to take pictures.



Anyways, I thought it was cool that he took the time to show what all this option does for the car. I thought I might pass it along as well.
