extraordinary driver to be able to achieve a similar performance with manual, not talking about straight line acceleration only which is better with Tiptronic anyway. Some people apparently didn't pay attention from the beginning when we explained that the Tiptronic on the new 997 Turbo can't be compared to the Tip on other current Porsche models. Not because it would be a different kind of gearbox but because none of the other Porsche models has PTM and an engine with VTG chargers. Apparently this is something difficult to understandfor some people, I liked the comment "why doesn't the GT3 have Tip if it is that good...".
First of all Rc congrats for your car! very nice indeed!
Secondly I believe that the 997tt tiptronic is faster only until 200khm.. if you place a manual vs a tip 997tt and start running after 200kmh IT IS SURE that the 997tip will be slower.. (see the Gearbox ratios and you will understand why).. also consider that the tip is 5gears aswell..
Something more, I accept the fact you ordered tip and also i accept that the tip is much better for everyday use... (NOT FOR RACING THOUGH)
and as far as i remember I was the one who had made the comment for the GT3 and the tip gearbox.. so now i will do the same comment again with a little difference...
WHY THE NEW GT2 WHICH HAS VTG TECHNOLOGY AND SAME ELECTRONICS ASWELL IS GOING TO BE (UNFORTUNATELY) ONLY MANUAL ?!?!

Please don't SHOUT...
You're overlooking one of the most important parts of the "integrated system": PTM incl. AWD. Nick, I'm disappointed, honestly.
Regarding the other claims: well, if you say so.

RC, do you get your car today or tomorrow?
