    LOL, unfortunately the wart (sport chrono package) gives you some other options and controls that are "must haves" on this car, i.e. a "sport" button which increases throttle response (doesn't add power, but makes the car "perkier"), and a suspension button that really stiffens up the suspension, from supple to GT3-ish.

    Yeah, I wish they'd get rid of the "chrono" (ie, the wart) part of the chrono-sport option. It spoils an otherwise handsome dash. The other parts of that option (better throttle response, less intrusive PSM, etc.) should be part of the base 911's design. It's supposed to be a sports car!

    I'd also be happier if they offered a PCM delete option.

    In any case, they're still great cars. And, unlike the vast majority in the Ferrari crowd, most 911 owners buy their cars to drive them! :)

    Very nice. In Europe though you could have bought a 430 coupe for that price.
