TIP is only FIVE speed, reason No.1, even Porsche is claiming that manual version(with optional LSD) is faster around ANY track(you will see it in Sport Auto!), reason No.2, and some other like...
Total driver control. You simply can not do that with TIP version, whatever you say it is not fully possible.
And some people like to change gears!
Let me tell you completely honestly if Porsche made TIP with 6 speeds, alu paddles for shifting gears(like new SL 55 AMG) and if LSD option was available for this TIP I would go for it!! But, not for TIP in present version, networked system or not.
BTW, why then new 997 GT2 will be manual only with standard LSD If TIP is such(you said track also) monster??

Question: does the Carrera / Carrera S also use the same gearbox (Tip) on the tt ? or the only difference is the gear ratio ?

Kreso, don't start it again. The GT2 doesn't have AWD/PTM and you know it. Maybe you should tell Adnan to join us next time or he simply should ask CR. I'm sorry but Tip it is and the 6. gear doesn't do anything, maybe because Porsche apparently raised the boost pressure on Tip cars in the higher speed range to compensate for the missing gear.
Forget about the old granny in a 997 TT Tip picture...it would definetely be ridiculous and not funny.
You don't believe it? Meet with the boys in the Black Forest. If you can keep up with them or even be faster, I'll come too. If not, just believe me: Tip rocks.

Christian,
Do you know what I did today? Changed my order to TIP! Why? Well, let say simply that I trust you!
It also moved my production date to late October 2006... Waiting will kill me... BTW, you were rigth TIP time from 0-200km/h is according to my friend from AMS around 11.7s...
Now, few questions for you:
If I do not "power-torque" what is the best way for smooth/fast start:
-SC on, D mode or
-SC on, M mode??
At 300km/h(tacho) how many rpm's on TIP(of course in 5.)?
So, your opinion is trusted this time.
BTW, I did not give up manual gearbox! It will be in my track toy-new 997 GT3RS!!
Thanks again,
Kreso

So, I will join TIP club after all.

NO, I am NOT kidding you!
Yesterday, I spoke with 997 turbo TIP owner and told me few things that were almost the same as you did.
So, I said to myself why not then?! But, for track driving something like 997 GT3RS is far better choice, IMO.
BTW, my F430F1 Spider is on market, I allready have potential buyer from Hungary...

You're kidding me, right?
If you have a GT3 RS on order, the Tip in the 997 Turbo is just perfect. You always have a perfect track car and a street monster too.
Without power torque method, you really need to get a bit of speed to be able to achieve a decent performance. Even 20 kph are enough but the car has to be moving. This is actually the only annoying thing with the Tip.
I always drive with Sport Chrono ON and it starts off in 1. gear. Turning PSM off doesn't help with starting off faster but it may be useful when driving hard (caution: heavy oversteer!!!). I didn't look at the rpm at 300 kph on the speedo but CF did 326 kph on the speedo when he reached the rev limiter, maybe this helps.
You'll love it when you drive it hard, you can have both hands at the steering wheel all the time, this is like somebody is actually doing the shifting AND shifting thinking for you, incredible fun.

I think there are only three emoticons to describe the events in MKSGR's house:

Yes, F430F1 Spider is a awsome car but, this guy from Hungary offered me very nice money for my car...
Now, Nick Berry resale value comes first to my mind!

And I was stupid enough not to take a video camera with me because I was sure YOU have one with you.
