Manual ONLY way to go. Unless you can't stand passing gears but if you can't stand passing gears then you're looking at the wrong type of cars because it's a sports car not a sedan like audi and mercedes.
Anyway I got mine manual, PCCB, adaptive seats, short shifter, sport chrono, LSD and I did the right choices as far as I'm concerned.
If you want to be able to feel what a turbo is really like performance wise (handling, accelaration, reprise (its french can't find the word in english)), and all other things you got to get a manual) IMHO
If you're looking for sensation ----> manual
- for fun ----> manual
- For track days ----> manual
- for spirited driving ----> manual
Do not look at numbers you won't even feel the difference what you'll feel is the "FEEL"
To achieve better number you have to do torque braking and doing so you'll harm your tranny. Without torque braking tip will be slower.
When i did get mine I had an hesitation but i went for the manual back in end of july, at that time there were not many data available, but today there are plenty tests. From owners and press... All press test I've read were going the same way MANUAL, and I've yet to hear a maunual owner that is unhappy with it. Tip owner I doubt there all happy with this tranny. As far as the one says that the turbo is a GT I guess they didn't try on a track cause I did many track days now and not many are passing me, but rather the other way around. And I probably could not achieve that with the tip tranny.
To resume chosing a turbo tip is like chosing a turbo without sport chrono, LSD, shortshifter, and pccb but i understand that PCCB is an expensive option but so much worth it but not as critical as the others because of its price but for me I consider PCCB critical.
I guess you got my opinion MANUAL!!!!!!!!
Cheers to all tip owner
