The simply fact is this technology is not new and has been around for 5 years. It's just not been offered to litigious US consumers before, for reasons that should be obvious. So you're not a guinea pig by any stretch of the imagination.
In Europe the reasons for stop/start on Porsche's is - surprise, surprise - fuel is actually expensive, and if you run a 911 the fuel costs will bite. You also have the social pressure from green parties to tax cars like 911's out of existence. So a simple bit of stop/start technology will keep the wolf from the economic an environmental doors for al little bit longer.
