OK guys please weigh in..
If I get a c4s without the sport chrono, I still get the active suspension. What I don't get is that button and programing that ties the suspension and throttle together. The car resonds quicker to the throttle. So without it I have to push down further on the gas to get the same response. The car is no "faster" right?

The 4s I want does not have the sport chrono.

 

i believe you still get the sport button even if you don't have the chrono package. when sport button is activated, you still get the PASM and even sports exhaust if you have it. but you will not get any of the throttle response change that comes with the chrono. you are right that the car is not faster, just more responsive which i am sure you can make up for with a faster right foot.

 

there is a button for the PASM that comes standard on all S cars,
sport chrono adds the sport button which triggers better throttle response,
if the car has PSE then you will also get the sport button, but only changes the sound of exhaust


if you can get the sport chrono, it is worth it

 

Also the sport chrono package has the memory for your seats, a/c and other things.

 

These are nice, but not essential. I am the only one driving the car so this is not really an issue.

 

Sport "mode" with chrono package also gets you more leniency on the PSM. W/o sport chrono, the PSM tolerance does not change (this is what I've been told).
Also having the various settings memorized and turning on day-time running lights I like.
