Manual vs Tip Performance
If this is true, the implications are that in gear acceleration would be identical or possibly better in the manual (no torque converter)
Any opinions on this snippet vs the FAQ:
Is it true that the Tiptronic version of the 997 Turbo accelerates faster than the manual version from 0-100, 0-160 and 0-200 kph (62 mph, 100 mph and 125 mph)?
Yes, this is absolutely true. Due to the new VTG charger and improved networked black box technology, not to mention some direct mechanical and electronics improvements on the Tiptronic gearbox itself, the Tiptronic version of the 997 Turbo is 0.2 seconds faster from 0-100 kph, 0.6 seconds faster from 0-160 kph and 0.6 seconds faster from 0-200 kph compared to the manual version.
