There have been no independent tests of the 997tt 6spd or tiptronic. I am sure that the times for the 6spd will improve upon Porsche's claims. I cant remember the official Porsche performance numbers for a 996tts, but I believe they were much slower than those of the 997tt manual.

Not really much of a difference in 62-100 mph times. I'd say that MKSGR can safely drive around in his X50, knowing that the 997TT without the powerkit isn't really something he needs to buy outright.
