Actually, the 997.1 Turbo is faster with Tiptronic and offers the overboost function (for 8 secs I think)  too. It is the only Porsche sportscar that is worth having with the Tip box.

"Form follows function"

The 997.1 TT with Tiptronic was one of the worst driving experience I had in a Porsche. The Tip.box it's just awful, the gears are slow, the buttons horrible to use, the torque converter makes you feel in a 80 Mercedes SEC and it sounds terrible, getting out of the 997.1TT Tip and driving my Carrera S PDK made me think that buying any Porsche with a Tip the worst buying decision one can have in life, it made a wonderful toy like 997.1TT feel boring & very unpleasant car to drive.

The 997.1TT with manual is so, so much better to drive.
