Stefan,
The fastest 0-200km/h time for TIP is 12.1s!! So, THE FACT will be after German mags publish their TIP tests that both version(manual and TIP) are the same in acceleration!
I guess that Porsche technical development stuff will now start to sing "THE END" from The Doors...



..and in hindsight all this fuzz about the (marginally)faster acceleration times claimed by Porsche for the 997tt tiptronic becomes transparent:
it was nothing more than a marketing ploy to distract from the fact that Porsche missed the boat on automated sports transmission by at least three years!!!

and they try to sell their customers for stupid, as it often happend - I really wonder in which way they will try to sell the 7speed PDK car to a guy who just bought the tip two years earlier believeing he got a 'sporty' option..
