Did it for another time, and I couldn't feel the difference with it on or off. Normally, I drive with the Sports button on as soon as I start the car but the electronic nanny save my ass buttons are always on. Saved my bacon a couple times on the track when I entered the chicane way too hot. Still, I was carrying to much speed and spun me sideways more then 45*. If I had it off, I would have gone framing for sure. In an air cool car, I would have done enough to plowed the field to plant enough potato to make breakfast for all our Pelican brothers.
Afterburn,
These cars have so much grip that it builds so much confidence for the inexperience drivers allowing them to go so much faster. Go drive one and tell us what you think. Make sure to turn on the Sports button, no need for Sports Plus.

Hahaha!!! I neeeeevvverr turn off the traction nanny!! Once, I don't know what got into me, but I thought I'd test it in the rain. I spun the rear tires for a few hundred feet and I could feel the car working to stay in a straight line. I think that's when I really fell in love with the whole package.
Yeah, I have the sport chrono package. No, I really don't ever use it like it's supposed to. Sometimes I amuse myself by timing my commute (think Roy Schieder in "Blue Thunder"), but that's pretty much it. You can time your split halfway home or to some mile marker, and resume to total time elapsed.
I'm thinking about playing with the front tires, adding more sidewall. I've gone through two front rims already, and I think I've cornered the market on used 997 style rims. The next one is going to come new from Mama (Porsche A.G.) and will be $$$$. The limiting factor is what sizes will Michellin Sport Cup 2 tires allow.
