I really hope nobody regrets getting the Tip, specially the more focused drivers on the board. Tip maybe be faster under the stopwatch but it will be slower in your mind, because operating the controls in perfect harmony (steering, pedals and gearchange) makes you feel a better, faster driver, something the Tip will never do even if you are going 10ths of second faster that is completely unoticable unless racing against another car in a race-track for many laps (for this you would need another type of car)

I only say, try before you buy, because selecting something that will take out 30% of the car fun factor only because o woman could be faster at stoplight is not a very smart reason.
