Wish someone made an analogue clock to replace the chrono with - more useful; you'd still be able to time the trip home with one!!

The only time I ever use mine is when I frequently have a race with myself on the way home from the office!

that's hilarious - I agree - it would be an awesome analog clock...I've only had mine on once.

if you not reset it to zero it does light up with your cluster lights at night. looks very nice lit up at night. Try to set it at 9.11 if u can that will waste a good 15-20mins but at least you will look at it everytime you are looking for what time it is and you will think for a nanosecond its 9.11 in the morning or something...

Yes it would have been quite cool to have an analogue clock there, and it COULD double as a chrono as well, not unheard of...

I have also heard that this is possible.

Now you need to see if you can do the trip in 33.22 minutes. With a little practice you may succeed.

eyes up Jim. anticipate that turn in. smooth, smooth, go go go go go!

i'm sure with some practice on the trailing breaking you can really bear down on those BMW's up in your neck of the woods.

I'm with ken but i think he's not aggressive enough. lighten up your fuel load and do it under 30 mins.

I play with the SC when sitting waiting on a light. Then light up 9.11 or something else suitable!

I set mine to 9.11, which took something like 5 minutes--hit 9.88 several tries along the way--and have never touched it since largely so I don't have to go through the process of hitting 9.11 again.

Every once in awhile a passenger asks why 911--thinking of either nine eleven (the date) or 9-1-1 (police emergency).

I usually say, you do know you're sitting in a 911, right?
