I think this clutch lockout mechanism is a USA only spec, as neither my UK spec Boxster nor my Australian 996 cabriolet had this 'feature'.
I guess its something to do with the USA car market being primarily automatic cars, so American drivers are less used to checking that the car is out of gear before starting it?
