On most previous models, the sports chrono package came with a lot of additional functions. It seems to me, it’s now pretty much simply a clock. I’m waiting on a Touring, and I may be the only person who isn’t specing this option. I’d certainly order it if I were getting a “ wingy “, but I think it breaks up the lines of the dash,and serves very little purpose.Kindly correct me,should I be wrong. Thanks!

Just as a data point, 82% of 991.2 GT3 specs had the sports chrono option (it was just a clock/lap timer, as in the 992). I have it in both of my current 991s and I not only use the clock all the time, I like the look and it blends in nicely with the other analog dials on the dash. I agree that it may not work as well in the 992 because having an analog clock in an otherwise digital interior could be seen as some as anachronistic.

I understand why most get the chrono because everyone else does but it just seems that it would be within my line of sight on the track. And again it’s useless

And it’s backlit reflection glows in the windshield when driving at night. I had it on my 991.1.
Another wingy and no chrono! Despite having it all my 911's where it was optionable looking forward to no chrono wart! Never like it so was happy to delete it this time!
I believe the track app is standard to all 911s. You don't need sport chrono for it to work.
I think the only other advantage of SC on the 992 GT3 besides a clock and lap timer is the added performance screen in the PCM. I don't know what this looks like in the GT3 but both my other Porsches have that screen which shows and compares lap times and shows a drawing of the track and your progress on that track on the PCM screen.
The clock rattled a lot on my 991.1 GT3.. although that might have also been because of my exhaust setup. Either way - I swore to myself if I ever spec out a 992 GT3 that I wouldn't opt for it. You are definitely not alone @NYCGT3
