In the hands of a capable driver the manual is faster than Tip under nearly every circumstances. The key benefit of the Tip is driving comfort.

The key benefit of PDK over Tip will be substantially quicker shift times.

Assuming a capable driver the Tip has the following disadvantages:

- From standstill Tip is only (slightly) faster than manual with Power Braking
- Above 100kph the manual is slightly quicker up to top speed (not much, though, just 2-3 seconds)
- The Tip suffers from the slow shift times in manual mode
- On the track the manual will always be faster (please note, that LSD is also only available for manual cars)

My personal summary: if you are a capable driver and don't need the comfort of automated gear changes go for the manual. It is involving and quicker.




you are mistaken about shift spped of the tip. actually i am always amazed when i am pushing hard, how incredibly fast the shifts of my tip are......in fact, amazingly fast !!



You are probably relating to automated shifts, right? I was talking about the manual shifts (via the steering wheel buttons)



yes, i am referring to auto-shifts in sport mode...
