As most us who's geting the car I was confronted with this problem shall i get the tip or the manual?
Most of people i hear they say i dont like tip...
In the past i also didn't like tip too. However, today porsche made be reconsider my principle. But today a tip is faster that is good for all of us, so today i'm happy i can consider it as a viable option.
For sometimes i was asking myself which one should I get tip or manual, then I asked myself what I needed it to be?
fast, excellent handling, torque, reliability, track abilities and the list could go on... But nowhere in my list was manual or tip!
Then the question is what i will do with the car: it will not be my everyday car, but rather my weekend and vacation, most of all sensation car and as well as occasional track abilities, i need the back seat for kid or storage, need torque at low rpm... In order word an all-around sports car that is why i chosen to get the turbo and not the GT3 nor the RS.
This tip issue never upset it me but rather intrigued it me. Today i really dont care about the few tenth between the 2 trannies but rather my pleasure/experience and usage of the car.
If I cared about racing or pure track experience, then i need to get the GT3 and GT3 does not come with tip nor PDK.
The turbo will have sufficient track and road capabilities for me
So then the question is which one will give me more pleasure? ---> may be manual
So what can make a difference? one thing makes a real difference for me: after performance comes handling or before i don't know -- so as the lsd diff is not offered with tip tranny that can make a difference. (and it did up to now!)
If the tip tranny had been offered with LSD differential I would have probably chosen the tip because it's faster -- who cares if it's a 5 or 6 speed if it faster, who cares i need to push a button, use paddles, stick to change gears I take the faster one offered period -- if the limited was offered on both trannies.
I made my choice and will be hard to change it; I decided to go with manual because I can had the differential option, and i will had short shift to it.
I'm sure tip is very good and very responsive (have to make such great times) but its a shame porsche did not offered the diff with tip because i'm looking first of all for handling and power, so i had to choose between both and for the choice is better handling (diff option) over few th of second. Now, I'm anxiously waiting for press review.
What makes a car fun to drive?
