aahhh, i see, this is one of those snake oil performance improvements, don't ask about how it is better, it is just better because someone here says so and had some insights into some "secrets" that the rest of the world is oblivious to.
IF you would have searched for my "explenation", you wouldn't have posted such crap, sorry to say that.
I never understand why people compare a street sportscar with a track car or even a race car, this is pretty much useless. The 997 Turbo beats the 997 GT3 almost on every street/track, performance-wise (even on twists and turns if you "delete" the semi-slicks from the GT3) and especially on the straights. But that's not the point.
Why is the Tip better than manual? Well: define "better".
Tip is faster, Tip is "less" involving and allows experienced drivers to achieve incredible speeds in twists and turns since you can keep both hands on the steering wheel and concentrate on throttle/brake operation only.
Manual is more involving (for those who need it), it is probably better for most tracks since the additional involvement allows you to squeeze as much speed as possible from twists and turns but only if you're a professional driver. Both claims sound contradictory but they aren't.
For a more profound and detailled explenation, please search for my older posts, I repeated myself again and again, it shouldn't be difficult to find them.
And before you continue to argue with me: drive a
997 Turbo Tip equipped car for more than 10 minutes and tell me what you think, especially about the fast-back function.
But yeah...I know...manual is for men, automatic is for pussies...
