we are talking hypothetically anyway.....
read my post again please. the tip gains 0.6 secs from 0-200. the manual would have to make up at least 0.7 seconds from 200-300 to be faster. i doubt it can do that. you would need a car with much more horsepower to make up for that at these speeds due to aerodynamic drag.

....and this is assuming the manual box driver has made 6 PERFECT shifts..otherwise the tip would have time to cool down the turbo's before the manual car arrives..

You are severely in denial. Porsche states that the tip will be slower above speeds of 200kph. On the Autobhn I think you might be driving a little quicker than that. So once again your WRONG.

Trip, I hate it to sound arrogant but I never read ANY official statement from Porsche that the Tip is slowlier than the manual at speeds above 200 kph.
And since you're 19 years old and never owned a 911 Turbo or any other super sportscar, you may want to turn it down a little bit when you're speaking to people who actually drive and own such cars. Reading internet forums, car magazines and gathering all the other gossip available "somewhere" may be interesting, entertaining and may even educate you a little bit about some fine sportscars. But without driving one, you can't really make such statements, sorry.

I always liked the Gallardo. Since we're not comparing these cars on the track because it wouldn't make much sense with differently skilled drivers, we're doing only a few mid/high speed straight line runs and hopefully a 0-100/160 kph run from standstill if we're able to find a deserted airport or maybe a short track somewhere.
Since the owners of the cars will be driving them themselves, there will be NO bias whatever towards a car. This will be probably the most honest and "unveilling" test available on the net. And I hope I won't be crying afterwards...

Do you think you can add a 997TT manual with your test? You might be the only one to do such a test. Or at least the first one.

And getting back to speeds from 200 to 300 kph, some of you seem to forget something: how many times does it happen that you can go straight from 200 kph to top speed without having to brake at least once or twice due to traffic?

And another thing: I know it is hard to believe but I heard that many customers are ordering the 997 Turbo, Tip and manual, without Sport Chrono. Apparently Porsche didn't succeed in explaining the benefits of Sport Chrono. Sad. A car WITH sport chrono will always outrun a car without sport chrono, every interested customer should be aware of that.
Those unfortunate soles will be sadly disappointed at resale time AND imo are missing out on one of the tt's best features. Without the sport chrono option I may have cancelled my order.
